MyBioSource.com's ACSL5 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, and Immunohistochemistry. The ACSL5 Antibody was generated using ACSL5 as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
Acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSL) activate long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. ACSL5 may activate fatty acids from exogenous sources for the synthesis of triacylglycerol destined for intracellular storage. Utilizes a wide range of saturated fatty acids with a preference for C16-C18 unsaturated fatty acids. It was suggested that it may also stimulate fatty acid oxidation. At the villus tip of the crypt-villus axis of the small intestine may sensitize epithelial cells to apoptosis specifically triggered by the death ligand TRAIL. May have a role in the survival of glioma cells
