Background Information
LRAT belongs to the H-rev107 family. LRAT transfers the acyl group from the sn-1 position of phosphatidylcholine to all-trans retinol, producing all-trans retinyl esters. LRAT plays a critical role in vision. It provides the all-trans retinyl ester substrates for the isomerohydrolase which processes the esters into 11-cis-retinol in the retinal pigment epithelium; due to a membrane-associated alcohol dehydrogenase, LRAT monomers (26kDa) interact in membranes and form functional homodimers (50-54 kDa) through protein-protein interactions and disulfide bond formation.Defects in LRAT are a cause of severe early-onset retinal dystrophy (RD). This antibody was generated against the internal residues of human LRAT. It is predicted to detect endogenous LRAT.

Reviews
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
FH Peter (Verified Customer) (12-03-2018) | The Proteintech LRAT primary antibody works so well and the antibody is prepared using BSA it can be use repeatedly when stored at -20. The strength of the antibody remains the same over a period of 6 months or more.
