Guinea pig Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 8 (ACOT8) ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a peroxisomal thioesterase that appears to be involved more in the oxidation of fatty acids rather than in their formation. The encoded protein can bind to the human immunodeficiency virus-1 protein Nef, and mediate Nef-induced down-regulation of CD4 in T-cells. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
Uniprot Description
ACOT8: Acyl-CoA thioesterases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to the free fatty acid and coenzyme A (CoASH), providing the potential to regulate intracellular levels of acyl-CoAs, free fatty acids and CoASH. May mediate Nef-induced down-regulation of CD4. Major thioesterase in peroxisomes. Competes with BAAT (Bile acid CoA: amino acid N- acyltransferase) for bile acid-CoA substrate (such as chenodeoxycholoyl-CoA). Shows a preference for medium-length fatty acyl-CoAs. May be involved in the metabolic regulation of peroxisome proliferation. Belongs to the C/M/P thioester hydrolase family.

Product Notes
The Guinea Pig ACOT8 acot8 (Catalog #AAA7215918) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7215918 ELISA Kit recognizes Guinea Pig ACOT8. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 8 (ACOT8), ELISA Kit" 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
