ACSL6 (D531) polyclonal antibody

Acyl-CoA synthetases, also known as long-chain fatty-acid CoA synthases (FACL) or Palmitoyl-CoA ligases, include ACSL1-6, which are all single-pass membrane proteins localizing to the mitochondrion, microsome or peroxisome.ACSL proteins are important for synthesis of cellular lipids and for β-oxidation degradation. Specifically, ACSL proteins catalyze the activation of long-chain fatty acids to acyl-CoAs, which can be metabolized to form CO2, triacylglycerol (TAG), phospholipids (PL) and cholesteryl esters (CE). ACSL6 has been shown to be an ETV6 fusion partner gene in a recurrent t(5;12) (q31;p13) translocation in a patient with refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) with basophilia, a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) with eosinophilia, and a patient with acute eosinophilic leukemia (AEL).
