Description

Acyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthetase CAS NO 61701-20-0 is a critical enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and complex lipids. Its primary function is to activate fatty acids by ligating them to the acyl carrier protein (ACP), a fundamental step in type II fatty acid synthase systems. This enzyme is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of biochemical research, metabolic pathway analysis, and pharmaceutical development, particularly for studying lipid metabolism and developing novel antimicrobial agents.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Enzyme Studies: Used as a key reagent for in vitro studies of fatty acid biosynthesis, enzyme kinetics, and mechanism of action.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Essential for reconstructing and analyzing type II fatty acid synthase (FAS II) pathways, commonly found in bacteria and plants.
• Antimicrobial Drug Discovery: Serves as a potential target for the development of new antibiotics, as the FAS II pathway is distinct in many pathogenic bacteria.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Utilized in university and corporate laboratories for fundamental research into lipid metabolism and energy storage.
• Diagnostic Kit Development: Can be incorporated into assay kits designed to measure fatty acid synthase activity or screen for enzyme inhibitors.
• Biocatalyst Development: Investigated for potential use in synthetic biology applications to engineer novel lipid production pathways.

Quality Control

Our Acyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthetase is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity, specific activity, and functional integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (by SDS-PAGE or HPLC), specific activity (units/mg), and absence of contaminating nucleases/proteases are available upon request. Our quality commitment ensures reliable and reproducible performance for your critical research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted enzyme solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -70°C or below to prevent loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use in a low-humidity environment.
