LRAT rabbit pAb - 50 μL

Lecithin retinol acyltransferase (phosphatidylcholine--retinol O-acyltransferase) (LRAT) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, where it catalyzes the esterification of all-trans-retinol into all-trans-retinyl ester. This reaction is an important step in vitamin A metabolism in the visual system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with early-onset severe retinal dystrophy and Leber congenital amaurosis 14. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
