Anti-CERS6

CERS6 Antibody is a IgG polyclonal antibody from Assay Genie with reactivity against Human, Mouse and for use in ELISA, IHC applications. CERS6 Antibody is a high quality polyclonal antibody for research use only.. Protein function: Ceramide synthase that catalyzes formation of ceramide from sphinganine and acyl-CoA substrates, with high selectivity toward palmitoyl-CoA (hexadecanoyl-CoA, C16:0-CoA) as acyl donor (PubMed:17977534, PubMed:17609214, PubMed:23530041, PubMed:26887952, PubMed:31916624). Can use other acyl donors, but with less efficiency. Ceramides generated by CERS6 play a role in inflammatory response. Acts as a regulator of metabolism and hepatic lipid accumulation. Under high fat diet, palmitoyl- (C16:0-) ceramides generated by CERS6 specifically bind the mitochondrial fission factor MFF, thereby promoting mitochondrial fragmentation and contributing to the development of obesity.
