Species: Human
Specificity/Sensitivity: The peptide was used in the production of GTX89422.
Form: Lyophilized powder
Buffer (with preservative): Reconstitute with 200μl distilled water to obtain a 0.5mg/ml peptide solution. Lyophilized from 5% (v/v) acetonitrile/H₂O, no preservative.
Background: This gene encodes an enzyme involved in fatty acid biosynthesis, primarily the synthesis of oleic acid. Transcripts of approximately 3.9 and 5.2 kb, differing only by alternative polyadenlyation signals, have been detected. A gene encoding a similar enzyme is located on chromosome 4 and a pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
