Anti-GPAT-1 Antibody

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1, mitochondrial (GPAT-1) is located on the mitochondrial outer membrane, allowing reciprocal regulation with carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1. It is thought to be critical for the development of hepatic steatosis; steatosis triggered by GPAT-1 overexpression leads to hepatic and possibly peripheral insulin resistance. GPAT-1 is transcriptionally upregulated by insulin and sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP-1) and downregulated by AMP-activated protein kinase. Mice deficient in GPAT-1 exhibit decreased triacylglycerol (TAG) in cardiomyocytes even in high-fat diets, suggesting that GPAT-1 contributes significantly to TAG accumulation in heart tissue during lipogenic or high fat diets.
