Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate ACSL1 in samples. An antibody specific for ACSL1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyACSL1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for ACSL1 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of ACSL1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 1 is an isozyme of the long-chain fatty-acid-coenzyme A ligase family. Although differing in substrate specificity, subcellular localization, and tissue distribution, all isozymes of this family convert free long-chain fatty acids into fatty acyl-CoA esters, and thereby play a key role in lipid biosynthesis and fatty acid degradation.
In melanocytic cells ACSL1 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.Activation of long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. Preferentially uses palmitoleate, oleate and linoleate. Highly expressed in liver, heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and erythroid cells, and to a lesser extent in brain, lung, placenta and pancreas.
