Anti-CPT1A Antibody

CPT1A (Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase 1A) is the liver isoform of the rate-limiting enzyme controlling mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation, and this polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is raised in rabbit against the human protein. Provided as 100 µL of unconjugated antiserum, the reagent supports detection of CPT1A across multiple assay platforms, including Western blot analysis of tissue lysates and cell extracts, immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed sections, and immunofluorescence staining of cultured cells.

The antibody is validated for reactivity with human, mouse, and rat samples, making it useful for cross-species studies in metabolic, hepatic, and oncology research. CPT1A is a frequent subject in investigations of hepatic lipid handling, insulin resistance, and the metabolic reprogramming seen in tumors, where altered fatty acid oxidation contributes to cell proliferation and survival. Researchers also use CPT1A immunodetection to assess mitochondrial outer membrane integrity and to track adaptive responses to fasting, exercise, or pharmacological interventions targeting lipid metabolism.

For best results, aliquot upon receipt, store at -20 °C, and protect from repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve antibody performance across long-term projects.
