Creative BioMart uses a variety of quality control measures to ensure the purity, identity, and activity of our products. These may include analytical testing such as SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, and ELISA, as well as functional assays to confirm activity. We can also perform endotoxin testing or use other methods to ensure the product is free from contaminants.
Like all proteins, recombinant ACAT2 protein should be handled with appropriate safety precautions, such as wearing gloves and avoiding direct contact with skin or mucous membranes. It is also important to follow good laboratory practices and to dispose of any waste materials properly.
The recommended concentration and volume of recombinant ACAT2 protein can vary depending on the specific assay or experiment being performed. Typically, the protein is dissolved in a buffer solution at a desired concentration (e.g. 0.1-1 mg/mL) and then used as needed. It is important to ensure that the protein concentration is appropriate for the intended use, as high concentrations may result in nonspecific binding or other issues.
Recombinant ACAT2 protein can be used in a variety of research applications, including studying the function of ACAT2 in lipid metabolism and cholesterol homeostasis, as well as in drug discovery efforts related to cardiovascular disease, obesity, and other metabolic disorders. It may also be used as a reference or standard in diagnostic tests for certain diseases.
The expression and activity of ACAT2 are regulated by a variety of factors, including dietary cholesterol intake, hormonal signals, and transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. Studies have identified several transcription factors that bind to the ACAT2 promoter region and regulate its expression, as well as post-transcriptional mechanisms such as alternative splicing and miRNA-mediated regulation.
In addition to recombinant ACAT2 protein, there may be natural sources of ACAT2 protein, such as from animal or human tissues. However, these sources may be more difficult to obtain and may have variable purity or activity. It is important to evaluate the quality and activity of these alternative sources before use in experiments or assays.
Inhibition of ACAT2 has been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cardiovascular disease, as well as other metabolic disorders such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes. Several small molecule inhibitors of ACAT2 have been developed and are currently undergoing preclinical and clinical evaluation.
ACAT2 is a key enzyme involved in the conversion of free cholesterol to cholesterol esters, which are stored in lipid droplets in cells. Dysregulation of ACAT2 activity has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis and other metabolic disorders. Studies have shown that inhibition of ACAT2 can reduce atherosclerotic plaque formation in animal models, suggesting that ACAT2 may be a potential therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
