ACAT1

SYNONYMS
Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, mitochondrial, EC 2.3.1.9, Acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, T2, ACAT1, ACAT, MAT, THIL.

INTRODUCTION
Acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (ACAT1) is an enzyme member of the membrane-bound acyltransferase family and Sterol o-acyltransferase subfamily. The ACAT1 enzyme catalyzes the reversible formation of acetoacetyl-CoA from 2 molecules of acetyl-CoA. ACAT1 plays a part in lipoprotein compilation and dietary cholesterol absorption. Added to its acyltransferase activity, ACAT1 acts as a ligase.

DESCRIPTION
ACAT1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 417 amino acids (34-427) and having a molecular mass of 43.8 kDa.
ACAT1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
