Cat. No. : | CBCRY16 |
Background : | The crystallographic structure of recombinant hTHEM2, determined by the single-wavelength anomalous dispersion method at 2.3A resolution, demonstrates that hTHEM2 indeed contains a hotdog-fold and forms a back-to-back tetramer as other hotdog proteins. Based on structural and sequence conservation, the thioesterase active site in hTHEM2 is predicted. The structure and substrate specificity are most similar to those of the bacterial phenylacetyl-CoA hydrolase. Asp65, located on the central alpha-helix of subunit B, was shown by site-directed mutagenesis to be essential to catalysis. |

Ask a questionACOT13 inhibitors have shown promise in the development of treatments for obesity and related metabolic disorders. By blocking the enzyme's activity, these compounds can increase the breakdown of fatty acids and reduce lipid accumulation in cells. This can lead to improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, which are often impaired in obese individuals.
Future research on ACOT13 protein will likely focus on further understanding the enzyme's role in lipid metabolism and its potential as a drug target for metabolic disorders. There is also potential for exploring the use of ACOT13 in agriculture and its involvement in cancer. Additionally, research may focus on developing better biomarkers to measure ACOT13 activity in the blood and identify any correlations with metabolic diseases.
ACOT13 protein can be used as a drug target for metabolic disorders related to lipid metabolism. The enzyme's critical role in regulating fatty acid metabolism makes it a potential target for drug development. Compounds that can modulate ACOT13 activity may be developed to treat these conditions.
Recombinant DNA technology in bacterial and mammalian cells is used to produce large amounts of ACOT13 protein. The protein can be purified using a variety of chromatography techniques to ensure its purity.
ACOT13 protein is involved in lipid metabolism by catalyzing the hydrolysis of fatty acids in cells. This process is essential for the utilization of fatty acids as a source of energy, and any dysregulation can lead to metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
ACOT13 protein has the potential to be used in agriculture to improve the growth and development of crops. Studies have found that genetic modification of plants to overexpress ACOT13 leads to increased seed oil content and improved seed germination rates. These findings suggest that manipulating ACOT13 activity in crops could be an effective way to optimize lipid metabolism and improve the nutritional content of food crops.
ACOT13 protein is primarily applied in research related to lipid metabolism. The enzyme plays a critical role in regulating the breakdown and utilization of fatty acids in cells, making it relevant to a range of metabolic disorders.
Yes, there are both inhibitors and activators of ACOT13 protein. Several compounds have been discovered that can either increase or decrease the enzyme's activity. For example, a study found that resveratrol, a natural compound found in grapes, can activate ACOT13 and enhance fatty acid oxidation in muscle cells.
Yes, ACOT13 protein is a potential drug target for metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Inhibitors of ACOT13 have been investigated as potential therapeutics for these conditions, as the enzymes play a role in regulating fatty acid metabolism and energy homeostasis.
ACOT13 is overexpressed in several types of cancer, suggesting that it plays a role in tumor growth and development. As such, targeted inhibition of ACOT13 has been investigated as a potential strategy for cancer treatment. Knockdown of the enzyme has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in preclinical studies.
ACOT13 protein is found in several species, including humans, mice, and rats. It is most highly expressed in tissues such as the liver, heart, and muscle, where it plays a critical role in regulating fatty acid metabolism.
As with any drug development process, there may be potential risks associated with targeting ACOT13 protein. The enzyme is involved in regulating several crucial metabolic pathways, and any unintended effects on these pathways can lead to harmful consequences. However, these risks can be minimized through careful research, testing, and regulation of drug development.
Yes, genetic modification of plants to overexpress ACOT13 has been investigated as a way to improve the lipid content of crops. In one study, overexpression of ACOT13 in soybeans led to increased seed oil content and improved seed germination rates. This may have applications in agriculture for optimizing lipid metabolism and improving the nutritional content of food crops.
ACOT13 protein has potential as a biomarker for lipid metabolism disorders. Elevated levels of the enzyme in the blood have been linked with metabolic disorders such as obesity and fatty liver disease, making it a promising biomarker for these conditions.
ACOT13 protein's involvement in cancer is not fully understood, but there is evidence to suggest that the enzyme plays a role in regulating the metabolism of cancer cells. Elevated levels of ACOT13 have been observed in some types of cancer, and knockdown of the enzyme has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between ACOT13 and cancer.
ACOT13 plays an important role in lipid metabolism by catalyzing the hydrolysis of acyl-CoA thioesters. This process generates free fatty acids that can be used for energy production or further metabolized in various biosynthetic pathways. ACOT13 also plays a role in regulating fatty acid oxidation and is critical for maintaining proper energy balance in cells.
