Rabbit anti-Human ABHD5 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q8WTS1

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ABHD5

Target Full Name

1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase ABHD5

Target Function

Coenzyme A-dependent lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase that catalyzes the transfert of an acyl group on a lysophosphatidic acid. Functions preferentially with 1-oleoyl-lysophosphatidic acid followed by 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidic acid, 1-stearoyl-lysophosphatidic acid and 1-arachidonoyl-lysophosphatidic acid as lipid acceptor. Functions preferentially with arachidonoyl-CoA followed by oleoyl-CoA as acyl group donors. Functions in phosphatidic acid biosynthesis. May regulate the cellular storage of triacylglycerol through activation of the phospholipase PNPLA2. Involved in keratinocyte differentiation. Regulates lipid droplet fusion.

Target Involvement

Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome (CDS)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Lipid droplet. Cytoplasm, cytosol.

Target Protein Families

Peptidase S33 family, ABHD4/ABHD5 subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed in various tissues, including lymphocytes, liver, skeletal muscle and brain. Expressed by upper epidermal layers and dermal fibroblasts in skin, hepatocytes and neurons (at protein level).

Target Research Area

Cancer

Target Background

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. It differs from other members of this subfamily in that its putative catalytic triad contains an asparagine instead of the serine residue. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, a triglyceride storage disease with impaired long-chain fatty acid oxidation.
