Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of Oact1, an alias of the protein, membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 1. The official gene symbol is MBOAT1. The protein, with a mass of 56.6 kDa and length of 495 residues, is reported to be membrane-associated. It is a member of the Membrane-bound acyltransferase family and may be known by other names, including: membrane-bound O-acyltransferase domain-containing protein 1, lysophosphatidylethanolamine acyltransferase 1, O-acyltransferase domain-containing protein 1, 1-acylglycerophosphoserine O-acyltransferase, and lysophospholipid acyltransferase 1, and LPLAT.
