This is a synthetic peptide designed for use in combination with anti-Dgat2 Antibody. It may block above mentioned antibody from binding to its target protein in western blot and/or immunohistochecmistry under proper experimental settings. There is no guarantee for its use in other applications.
Dgat2 is an essential acyltransferase that catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. It is required for synthesis and storage of intracellular triglycerides. It probably plays a central role in cytosolic lipid accumulation.
