Dodecenoyl-CoA Delta Isomerase, also known as 3,2-trans-enoyl-CoA isomerase (ECI1), is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of cis-or trans-double bonds of fatty acids at gamma-carbon(position 3) to trans double bonds at beta-carbon(position 2). It plays a particularly important role in the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids. All classes of enoyl-CoA isomerases belong to a family of enzymes, the hydratase/isomerase or crotonase superfamily, and when examined with x-ray crystallography, exhibit a common structural feature of the family, the N-terminal core with a spiral fold composed of four turns, each turn consisting of two beta-sheets and one alpha-helix. Dodecenoyl-CoA Delta Isomerase/DCI is involved in the beta-oxidation, one of the most frequently used pathways in fatty acid degradation, of unsaturated fatty acids with double bonds at odd-numbered carbon positions. It does so by shifting the position of the double bonds in the acyl-CoA intermediates and converting 3-cis or trans-enoyl-CoA to 2-trans-enoyl-CoA.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the DCI antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human DCI (ADVQNFVSFISKDSIQKSL) was used as the immunogen for this DCI antibody.
After reconstitution, the DCI antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
