NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the TLC (TRAM, LAG1 and CLN8 homology domains) family of proteins. The encoded protein functions in the synthesis of ceramide, a lipid molecule that is involved in a several cellular signaling pathways. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Product Notes
The LASS5 cers5 (Catalog #AAA152522) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's LASS5 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). LASS5 peptide is used for blocking the activity of LASS5 antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the LASS5 cers5 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "LASS5, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
