General description

ABHD5/CGI58 product 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase is a signaling agent that co-activates adipose triglyceride lipase and acylation of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). ABHD5 (1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyl-transferase) is a member of the esterase/lipase/thioesterase subfamily that has been associated with a triglyceride storage disease involving impaired long-chain fatty acid oxidation, known as Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, a rare neutral lipid disorder characterised by icthyosis, hepatic steatosis.

Specificity

Anti-ABHD5/CGI58 antibody reacts with a sequence of the enzyme human1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human ABHD5

Application

Anti-ABHD5/CGI58 is a rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody used to tag comparative gene identification 58 (CGI58) proteins for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ABHD5 belongs to a large family of proteins defined by an alpha/beta hydrolase fold, and contains three sequence motifs that correspond to a catalytic triad found in the esterase/lipase/thioesterase subfamily. It differs from other members of this subfamily in that its putative catalytic triad contains an asparagine instead of the serine residue. Mutations in ABHD5 gene have been associated with Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, a triglyceride storage disease with impaired long-chain fatty acid oxidation.The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a large family of proteins defined by an alpha/beta hydrolase fold, and contains three sequence motifs that correspond to a catalytic triad found in the esterase/lipase/thioesterase subfamily.

Mutations of comparative gene identification 58 (CGI-58) in humans cause Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disease in which excess triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulates in multiple tissues. CGI-58 recently has been ascribed two distinct biochemical activities, including coactivation of adipose triglyceride

Mutations in human CGI-58/ABHD5 cause Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome (CDS), characterized by excessive storage of triacylglycerol in tissues. CGI-58 is an alpha/beta-hydrolase fold enzyme expressed in all vertebrates. The carboxyl terminus includes a highly conserved consensus sequence (HXXXXD) for acyltransferase activity. Mouse
