Anti-DHHC-9 Antibody

DHHC-9 (also called ZDHHC9) is a zinc-finger DHHC domain-containing palmitoyl acyltransferase that catalyzes S-acylation of substrate proteins at cysteine residues, a reversible lipid modification that regulates membrane association, trafficking, and stability of neuronal and signaling proteins. This polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is raised in rabbit and supplied as 100 µL of unconjugated antiserum, intended for immunodetection of the endogenous human, mouse, and rat enzyme. Researchers use it in western blot to confirm expression of DHHC-9 in cell lysates and tissue extracts, in immunohistochemistry to localize the protein in brain and testis sections, and in ELISA-based assays for quantitative work. The antibody is provided as a research-use-only reagent and should be stored refrigerated; aliquoting upon arrival is recommended to limit freeze-thaw cycles and preserve epitope recognition. Published studies link ZDHHC9 to X-linked intellectual disability and to palmitoylation of H-Ras and the NMDA receptor subunits, making this reagent useful for laboratories investigating lipid modification in neurobiology and cancer cell signaling.
