Anti-LIPT1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein lipoyltransferase 1. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 373 amino acid residues and a mass of 42.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. It is reported to be highly expressed in skeletal muscle and heart, moderately in the kidney and pancreas, and detected at lower levels in the liver, brain, placenta and lung. A member of the LplA protein family, LIPT1 is known to catalyze the transfer of the lipoyl group from lipoyl-AMP to the specific lysine residue of lipoyl domains of lipoate-dependent enzymes. The LIPT1 gene has been associated with the disease, Lipoyltransferase 1 deficiency. Synonyms for this target antigen include lipoyltransferase 1, mitochondrial, lipoate biosynthesis protein, lipoyl ligase, and LIPT1D. LIPT1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the LIPT1 antibodies listed below. In addition, Immunocytochemistry is also a common application.
