Anti-THEA antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the THEA antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the ACOT11 gene, which encodes acyl-CoA thioesterase 11. This protein is known to function in fatty acid metabolism and intracellular signal transduction, among other biological roles. The human version of THEA has a canonical amino acid length of 607 residues and a protein mass of 68.5 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the mitochondria and cytoplasm of cells and notably expressed in the small intestine, rectum, kidney, duodenum, and colon. Other names for this target antigen include BFIT and STARD14. Immunohistochemistry is the most common application for the THEA antibodies listed below. ELISA and Western Blot are also common applications.
