Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2) serves as a critical enzyme in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, catalyzing the transfer of long-chain fatty acids from carnitine to coenzyme A within the mitochondrial matrix. This metabolic gatekeeper plays an essential role in energy homeostasis, particularly during fasting and prolonged exercise when fatty acid oxidation becomes the primary fuel source. Deficiencies in CPT2 are associated with inherited metabolic disorders ranging from lethal neonatal forms to adult-onset myopathic presentations, making this target highly relevant for researchers investigating lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and metabolic disease mechanisms.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 11H5, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research protocols require. Generated against a synthesized peptide from human CPT2 protein and produced using recombinant technology, this antibody provides sequence-defined specificity with minimal lot-to-lot variation, ensuring your experimental results remain comparable across studies and over time.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance in immunohistochemistry applications on human tissues. Testing at 1:100 dilution on paraffin-embedded human kidney tissue and human liver cancer specimens using a Leica Bond system with citrate buffer antigen retrieval yielded clear, specific staining patterns. The recommended working dilution range of 1:50-1:200 provides flexibility for optimization across different tissue types and experimental conditions. The antibody is also validated for ELISA applications.
Supplied in a stabilized liquid format with glycerol for convenient long-term storage, this CPT2 antibody supports investigations into fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and the pathophysiology of CPT2 deficiency syndromes, offering researchers a dependable tool for advancing understanding of lipid oxidation disorders.
