A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of DGAT2 L4 antibody, Alternative Names: DGAT2L4 control peptide, DGAT2L4 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-DGAT2L4 Blocking Peptide, Diacylglycerol O-Acyltransferase 2-Like 4 Blocking Peptide, AWAT2 Blocking Peptide, DC4 Blocking Peptide, MFAT Blocking Peptide, DGAT2, DGAT-2, DGAT 2, DGAT-2 Blocking Peptide, DGAT 2 Blocking Peptide
DGAT2L4 is acyltransferase that predominantly esterify long chain (wax) alcohols with acyl-CoA-derived fatty acids to produce wax esters. Wax esters are enriched in sebum, suggesting that it plays a central role in lipid metabolism in skin. It has no activity using decyl alcohol and significantly prefers the C16 and C18 alcohols.
