Anti-ATP-citrate synthase/ACLY Antibody from rabbit, purified by affinity chromatography

ATP citrate synthase, also known as ATP-citrate (pro-S-)-lyase (ACL) or Citrate cleavage enzyme, and encoded by the gene name ACLY is the primary enzyme responsible for the synthesis of cytosolic acetyl-CoA in many tissues. The enzyme is a tetramer (relative molecular weight approximately 440,000) of apparently identical subunits. It catalyzes the formation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate from citrate and CoA with a concomitant hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and phosphate. The product, acetyl-CoA, serves several important biosynthetic pathways, including lipogenesis and cholesterogenesis. In nervous tissue, ATP citrate-lyase may be involved in the biosynthesis of acetylcholine.
