At least two isoforms of MECR are known to exist, this antibody will detect both isoforms.
Purification
MECR Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
Rabbit polyclonal MECR antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human MECR. The immunogen is located within amino acids 300 - 350 of MECR.
MECR Antibody: The mitochondrial trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (MECR), was initially identified as nuclear receptor-binding factor 1 (NRBF1), which can interact with a multitude of nuclear hormone receptors in the presence of the respective ligands. MECR has been shown to be part of the mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (FAS II) system and to catalyze the NAPDH-dependent reduction of 2-enoyl thioesters, generating saturated acyl-groups. Overexpression of this gene in transgenic mice can lead to cardiac abnormalities, suggesting that inappropriate expression of genes of FAS II can result in the development of hereditary cardiomyopathy.
