The LRAT Antibody from MyBioSource.com is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody to LRAT. This antibody recognizes Human, Mouse, and Rat antigen. The LRAT Antibody has been shown to work in the following applications: ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot.
Description
Function: Transfers the acyl group from the sn-1 position of phosphatidylcholine to all-trans retinol, producing all-trans retinyl esters. Retinyl esters are storage forms of vitamin A. LRAT plays a critical role in vision. It provides the all-trans retinyl ester substrates for the isomerohydrolase which processes the esters into 11-cis-retinol in the retinal pigment epithelium; due to a membrane-associated alcohol dehydrogenase, 11 cis-retinol is oxidized and converted into 11-cis-retinaldehyde which is the chromophore for rhodopsin and the cone photopigments.
Similarity: Belongs to the H-rev107 family
