ELOVL7 (Elongation of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids Protein 7, 3-keto Acyl-CoA Synthase ELOVL7, ELOVL Fatty Acid Elongase 7, ELOVL FA Elongase 7, Very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA Synthase 7, FLJ23563)

Lipogenesis is a key event in the energy storage system and is controlled by the transcription factor sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1. Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 7 (ELOVL7) is a member of fatty acyl-CoA elongase gene family that elongates saturated very-long-chain fatty acids (SVLFA, C20:0-) and has been suggested to be involved in prostate cancer growth through saturated long-chain fatty acid metabolism. The metabolic pathways of long-chain fatty acids play an important role in the maintenance of membrane lipid composition and the generation of cell signaling precursor molecules such as eicosanoids and sphingosine-1 phosphate. Overexpression of ELOVL7 results in lipid accumulation in differentiated adipocytes; its expression is regulated by the microRNA miR-219.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 1ug/ml\nImmunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 5ug/ml\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nPositive Control:\nHuman Liver Tissue Lysate\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
