Anti-AIG-1

function:May play a role in androgen-regulated growth of hair follicles.,induction:By dihydrotestosterone (DHT).,similarity:Belongs to the AIG1 family.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in heart, ovary, testis, liver, and kidney, at lower levels in spleen, prostate, brain, skeletal muscle, pancreas, small intestine and colon, and undetected in peripheral blood leukocytes, thymus, lung and placenta. AIG1 expression is higher in hair follicles from males than from females., Protein function: Hydrolyzes bioactive fatty-acid esters of hydroxy-fatty acids (FAHFAs), but not other major classes of lipids (PubMed:27018888). Show a preference for FAHFAs with branching distal from the carboxylate head group of the lipids (PubMed:27018888). [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/40000. Not yet tested in other applications.. Cellular localization: Cell membrane , Multi-pass membrane protein .
