Target Description: This gene encodes a cytosolic, NADP-dependent enzyme that generates NADPH for fatty acid biosynthesis. The activity of this enzyme, the reversible oxidative decarboxylation of malate, links the glycolytic and citric acid cycles. The regulation of expression for this gene is complex. Increased expression can result from elevated levels of thyroid hormones or by higher proportions of carbohydrates in the diet.

Uniprot Description
ME1: a ubiquitous lipogenic enzyme of the malic enzymes family. Converts (S)-malate + NADP+ ?? pyruvate + CO2 + NADPH. Levels of ME1 and ATP-citrate lyase mRNA, another lipogenic enzyme, are coordinately increased 5-7 fold during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes. Up-regulated by short-term dietary restriction in mice. The cycling of pyruvate by ME1 generates cytosolic NADPH, whereas mitochondrial ME2 responds to elevated amino acids and serves to supply sufficient pyruvate for increased Krebs cycle flux when glucose is limiting.

Product Notes
The ME1 me1 (Catalog #AAA3219774) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The ME1 Antibody - C-terminal region reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's ME1 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 ME1 me1 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: NPTSKAECSA EQCYKITKGR AIFASGSPFD PVTLPNGQTL YPGQGNNSYV. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ME1, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
