Membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 7 (MBOAT7; LENG4; LPLAT7) belongs to membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT) family. The protein shows an endoplasmic reticulum-like reticular pattern and perinuclear staining in HEK293 cells.
Synonyms: Anti-BB1
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-LENG4 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 5.0µg/ml. The antibody has been used for western blotting for proteins isolated from mice brain tissue.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 7 (MBOAT7; LENG4) is an integral membrane protein important for reacylation of phospholipids. The reacylation is an important step in the recycling of phospholipids via the Land cycle. LENG4 is highly specific for arachidonoyl-coenzyme A and is involved in arachidonate recycling. LENG4 interacts with the small subunit of serine palmitoyltransferase a (ssSPTa). This interaction is important for LENG4-dependent incorporation of arachidonic acid into phosphatidylinositol.
