Rat Sterol-O-Acyltransferase 2 (SOAT2) ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Summary:This gene is a member of a small family of acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferases. The gene encodes a membrane-bound enzyme localized in the endoplasmic reticulum that produces intracellular cholesterol esters from long-chain fatty acyl CoA and cholesterol. The cholesterol esters are then stored as cytoplasmic lipid droplets inside the cell. The enzyme is implicated in cholesterol absorption in the intestine and in the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins such as very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description

Product Notes
The Rat SOAT2 soat2 (Catalog #AAA9311391) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9311391 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat SOAT2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Sterol-O-Acyltransferase 2 (SOAT2), 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
