Anti-Retinol Saturase antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the RETSAT gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 610 amino acid residues and a mass of 66.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in the liver; expression positively correlates with obesity and liver steatosis. A member of the Carotenoid/retinoid oxidoreductase protein family, it is known to catalyze the saturation of all-trans-retinol to all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinol. Other names for this target antigen include PPAR-alpha-regulated and starvation-induced gene protein, all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinol saturase, and all-trans-retinol 13,14-reductase. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chicken species. Some Retinol Saturase antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. These antibodies are most commonly used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
