human ... HMGCS2(3158)

General description

HMG-coenzyme A synthase 2 (mitochondrial) (HMGCS2) is the mitochondrial form of HMG-CoA synthase, the enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of acetyl-CoA with acetoacetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA. HMG-CoA synthase 2 regulates and rate-limits ketone body production and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation within liver cells and some extrahepatic tissues such as the colon.

Specificity

Anti-HMGCS2 (AB1) polyclonal antibody reacts with bovine, human, mouse, rat, canine, pig, and chicken HMG-coenzyme A synthase 2 proteins.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to a region of human HMGCS2 with an internal ID of P24247

Application

Anti-HMGCS2 (AB1) polyclonal antibody is used to tag the HMG-coenzyme A synthase 2 for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of HMG-coenzyme A synthase 2 in ketone body production and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation within hepatic and other tissues.

Physical form

Lyophilized from PBS buffer with 2% sucrose

We have previously proposed that catabolic fibroblasts generate mitochondrial fuels (such as ketone bodies) to promote the anabolic growth of human cancer cells and their metastasic dissemination. We have termed this new paradigm "two-compartment tumor metabolism." Here, we further tested
