General description

Fatty acid synthase (FAS, FASN) is a multifunctional protein, mainly involved in catalyzing the synthesis of palmitate from acetyl-CoA and malonyl CoA, in the presence of NADPH. In mammals, it is composed of two identical multifunctional polypeptides, in which three catalytic domains in the N-terminal section (β-ketoacyl synthase, malonyl/acetyl tansferase, and dehydrase) are separated by a core region of about 600 residues from four C-terminal domains (enoyl reductase, β-ketoacyl reductase, acyl carrier protein, and thioesterase).

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 2497-2511 of human fatty acid synthase, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal added lysine residue. The corresponding sequence is conserved in human, rat, and mouse.

Application

Anti-Fatty Acid Synthase (C-Terminal) antibody is suitable for western blot analysis at a concentration of 0.5-1μg/mL using lysates of Rat1 cells and 1-2μg/mL using lysates of human HEK 293-T cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

FAS plays an essential role during embryogenesis and energy homeostasis in adult animals. It also acts as the carbon source for fatty acid synthesis. It has been shown to be overexpressed in various types of human cancer, including prostate, breast, ovary and others.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
