CYP27A1 blocking peptide
CYP27A1 Peptide - N-terminal region
Target Description: This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This mitochondrial protein oxidizes cholesterol intermediates as part of the bile synthesis pathway. Since the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids is the major route for removing cholesterol from the body, this protein is important for overall cholesterol homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease.

Uniprot Description
CYP27A1: Catalyzes the first step in the oxidation of the side chain of sterol intermediates; the 27-hydroxylation of 5-beta- cholestane-3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-triol. Has also a vitamin D3- 25-hydroxylase activity. Defects in CYP27A1 are the cause of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). CTX is a rare sterol storage disorder characterized clinically by progressive neurologic dysfunction, premature atherosclerosis, and cataracts. Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.

Product Notes
The CYP27A1 cyp27a1 (Catalog #AAA3244313) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CYP27A1 Peptide - N-terminal region reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CYP27A1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CYP27A1 cyp27a1 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. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: GKYPVRNDME LWKEHRDQHD LTYGPFTTEG HHWYQLRQAL NQRLLKPAEA. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CYP27A1, 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
