Anti-CPT1C Antibody

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C) is a brain-enriched acyltransferase anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum, where it regulates ceramide homeostasis and lipid-dependent neuronal signaling rather than mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal IgG reagent recognizes the human CPT1C protein and supports immunodetection in western blot and flow cytometry workflows. Supplied as 100 µl of liquid, the antibody is recommended for storage at -20°C in working aliquots to limit freeze-thaw cycles and preserve epitope reactivity. Independent studies have linked CPT1C activity to hypothalamic control of feeding behavior, hippocampal plasticity, and the metabolic adaptation of several solid tumors, making a specific anti-CPT1C reagent a useful reagent for neuroscience and oncology laboratories working with human cell lines and primary tissues. Researchers performing western blot analysis commonly resolve CPT1C near 90 kDa, and flow cytometry staining permits quantification of CPT1C-associated compartments in fixed and permeabilized human cell populations.
