Designing a Western blot for ACSL3? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the ACSL3 Western Blot GuideFacts about Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 3.
Preferentially uses myristate, laurate, arachidonate and eicosapentaenoate as substrates (By similarity). Has mainly an anabolic role in energy metabolism.
