Background:

Catalyzes the interconversion of (R)- and (S)-stereoisomers of alpha-methyl-branched-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters (PubMed:7649182, PubMed:10655068, PubMed:11060359). Acts only on coenzyme A thioesters, not on free fatty acids, and accepts as substrates a wide range of alpha-methylacyl-CoAs, including pristanoyl-CoA, trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA (an intermediate in bile acid synthesis), and arylpropionic acids like the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid) but neither 3-methyl-branched nor linear-chain acyl-CoAs (PubMed:7649182, PubMed:10655068, PubMed:11060359).

Specificity:

Recognizes endogenous levels of AMACR protein.

Alternative names:

Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase; 2-methylacyl-CoA racemase

Species reactivity:

Human, Mouse, Rat

Host:

Mouse

Ig type:

Liquid in 0.42% Potassium phosphate, 0.87% Sodium chloride, pH 7.3, 30% glycerol, and 0.01% sodium azide.

Immunogen:

KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide encompassing a sequence of human AMACR. The exact sequence is proprietary.

Purification & Purity:

The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).

Molecular weight:

~ 42 kDa

Applications:

WB, IHC

Usage:

WB (1/1000 - 1/2000), IHC (1/100 - 1/200)

Storage:

Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Precautions:

For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedure.
