Gene Information

human ... PPT1(5538)

General description

The gene coding for the depalmitoylation enzyme, palmitoyl-protein thioesterase (PPT1) is mapped to human chromosome 1p32. Ser115–His289–Asp233 amino acids form the catalytic triad in the active site of the protein. Even though PPT1 is expressed in a variety of tissues, inadequacy of PPT1 protein affect nerve cells only in the cerebral, cerebellar cortex and retina, all other cell types remain comparatively unaffected.

Immunogen

Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-PPT1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used for immunofluorescence and western blotting studies. All Prestige Antibodies®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-1 (PPT1) enzyme catalyzes the depalmitoylation reaction involving the removal of long-chain fatty acids from modified cysteine residues in proteins. Mutation of this gene leads to infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL), which is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by brain atrophy, myoclonic jerk and visual abnormalities.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Thioesterases (TEs) are classified into EC 3.1.2.1 through EC 3.1.2.27 based on their activities on different substrates, with many remaining unclassified (EC 3.1.2.-). Analysis of primary and tertiary structures of known TEs casts a new light on this enzyme group.
