Designing an IHC experiment for Bile acyl-CoA synthetase? The guide has the expected staining pattern, antigen retrieval and fixation, antibodies backed by real IHC images, the tissue controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the SLC27A5 IHC GuideFacts about Bile acyl-CoA synthetase.
Seems to trigger secondary bile acids entering the liver in the enterohepatic circulation. In vitro, also activates 3-alpha,7- alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestanate (THCA), the C27 precursor of cholic acid deriving in the de novo synthesis from cholesterol.
