Specificity
This antibody detects endogenous levels of HMGCS2 at Human, Mouse,Rat
Source
Polyclonal, Rabbit,IgG
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
WB 1:500-2000
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Function
Catalyzes the first irreversible step in ketogenesis, condensing acetyl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA, which is converted by HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) into mevalonate.
Protein name
Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase, mitochondrial (HMG-CoA synthase) (EC 2.3.3.10) (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthase)
