FAR1 (Fatty acyl CoA reductase 1) is abundantly expressed in the preputial gland and at lower levels in many other organs and cells.
Synonyms: Anti-Fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1; Anti-MLSTD2 antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Male sterility domain-containing protein 2
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: FAR1 (fatty acyl CoA reductase 1) plays an important role in the synthesis of fatty alcohols for ether lipid biosynthesis. It facilitates the reduction reaction of saturated fatty acyl-CoA (with chain length C16 or C18) to fatty alcohols. Deficiency of FAR1 causes a peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1 disorder, associated with intellectual disability, cataracts, epilepsy, and growth retardation.
