Target description

Fatty acid CoA ligase Acsl3 (UniProt: O95573; also known as Arachidonate--CoA ligase, EC:6.2.1.15, Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 3, LACS 3, Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 3, Medium-chain acyl-CoA ligase Acsl3) is encoded by the ACSL3 (also known as ACS3, FACL3, LACS3) gene (Gene ID: 2181) in human. In mammals, Acyl-CoA synthetase (ACSL) enzymes are essential for de novo lipid synthesis, fatty acid catabolism, and remodeling of membranes. These ACSLs are divided into five sub-families based on the chain length of their preferred acyl groups. Activation of fatty acids requires a two-step reaction scheme catalyzed by ACSLs. In the first step, an acyl-AMP intermediate is formed from ATP. AMP is then exchanged with CoA to produce the activated acyl-CoA. ACSL3 is a single-pass type III membrane protein with a transmembrane domain (aa 21-41) and a long cytoplasmic domain )aa 42-720). It is mainly detected in the endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes. It is required for the incorporation of fatty acids into phosphatidylcholine, the major phospholipid located on the surface of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). It preferentially uses myristate, laurate, arachidonate and eicosapentaenoate as substrates. Overexpression of ACSL3 is shown in human lung cancer and is essential for mutant KRAS lung cancer tumorigenesis. Its suppression is linked to depletion of cellular ATP and death of lung cancer cells. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
