Anti-LRAT Antibody

Polyclonal antibodies raised in rabbit against LRAT (lecithin retinol acyltransferase) are offered as an unconjugated IgG reagent validated for Western blot and immunofluorescence workflows on human and rat samples. LRAT catalyzes the esterification of all-trans-retinol, a key step in vitamin A metabolism that takes place in the retinal pigment epithelium and hepatic stellate cells, making this antibody a useful reagent for studies of retinoid storage, ocular tissue biology, and liver lipid handling. The polyclonal format allows recognition of multiple epitopes on the LRAT protein, supporting clear signal on western blot membranes and consistent staining of fixed cell or tissue sections.

Each vial from Antibodies.com contains 50 µl of the unconjugated primary antibody, ready to pair with the secondary reagent of the researcher's choice. Storage at -20°C in working aliquots is recommended to preserve activity across repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Researchers investigating the visual cycle, hepatic stellate cell function, or retinoic acid signaling pathways can apply this reagent at typical working dilutions for Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining of cultured or fixed specimens.
