The SLC27A5 Antibody (PAC023797) is a key tool for researchers studying SLC27A5, a protein involved in lipid metabolism and fatty acid uptake in cells. This polyclonal antibody, raised in rabbits, is highly specific to human SLC27A5 and is validated for use in Western blot and immunohistochemistry applications.SLC27A5, also known as very-long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase, plays a critical role in lipid biosynthesis and energy metabolism. Dysregulation of SLC27A5 has been implicated in various metabolic disorders, making it an important target for research in obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver disease.
The SLC27A5 Antibody enables precise detection and analysis of SLC27A5 protein levels in different cell types, providing valuable insights into lipid homeostasis and metabolic pathways.By understanding the function and regulation of SLC27A5, researchers can uncover new therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases and develop strategies for managing lipid-related conditions. This antibody is a valuable tool for advancing research in lipid metabolism and exploring the potential of SLC27A5 as a therapeutic target in metabolic disorders.

Background:
Acyl-CoA synthetase involved in bile acid metabolism. Proposed to catalyze the first step in the conjugation of C24 bile acids (choloneates) to glycine and taurine before excretion into bile canaliculi by activating them to their CoA thioesters. Seems to activate secondary bile acids entering the liver from the enterohepatic circulation. In vitro, also activates 3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestanate (THCA), the C27 precursor of cholic acid deriving from the de novo synthesis from cholesterol.
Synonyms:
EC 6.2.1.7; FACVL3; FATP5; MGC143799; S27A5

NCBI Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene is an isozyme of very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (VLCS). It is capable of activating very long-chain fatty-acids containing 24- and 26-carbons. It is expressed in liver and associated with endoplasmic reticulum but not with peroxisomes. Its primary role is in fatty acid elongation or complex lipid synthesis rather than in degradation. This gene has a mouse ortholog. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
