Active Native Pigeon Carnitine Acetyltransferase

• Cat.No.: CrAT-01P
• Product Overview: Active Native purified Pigeon Carnitine Acetyltransferase

Specification

• Species: Pigeon
• Source: Breast muscle
• Description: Catalyzes the reversible transfer of acyl groups from carnitine to coenzyme A (CoA) and regulates the acyl-CoA/CoA ratio. Also plays a crucial role in the transport of fatty acids for beta-oxidation. Responsible for the synthesis of short- and branched-chain acylcarnitines. Active towards some branched-chain amino acid oxidation pathway (BCAAO) intermediates. Trans-2-enoyl-CoAs and 2-methylacyl-CoAs are poor substrates.
• CAS No.: 9029-90-7
• Bio-activity: 80 U/mg protein
• Purity: ≥95% by SDS-PAGE
• Unit Definition: One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of acetyl-L-carnitine and CoA to L-carnitine and acetyl-CoA per min at pH 8.0 at 25 centigrade.
• Storage: Store at -20 centigrade for 2 years.
• Concentration: 1.2 mg/mL
