PEMT Antibody / Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase Antibody detects PEMT, an enzyme that contributes to phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis by converting phosphatidylethanolamine through three successive methylation reactions. Each step uses S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor, linking membrane phospholipid production with cellular one-carbon metabolism. PEMT is associated primarily with membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria-associated membrane regions. Its activity provides a pathway for phosphatidylcholine formation that complements the CDP-choline, or Kennedy, pathway.
Phosphatidylcholine is a major constituent of cellular membranes and lipoproteins, while phosphatidylethanolamine contributes to membrane curvature and other physical properties. The relative abundance of these lipids can affect membrane organization, trafficking, and organelle function. PEMT activity is particularly relevant in the liver, where phosphatidylcholine is required for normal assembly and secretion of very-low-density lipoproteins. Because the enzyme consumes methyl groups, its activity also intersects with choline availability, homocysteine production, and broader methyl-donor balance. The Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase Antibody designation reflects the full protein name associated with the PEMT target.
Variation in PEMT expression or activity may influence susceptibility to disturbances in hepatic lipid handling, especially under conditions of limited dietary choline. The enzyme has therefore attracted attention in studies of fatty liver disease, phospholipid homeostasis, and metabolic adaptation. Its contribution depends on the relative activity of other phosphatidylcholine-producing pathways and the availability of metabolic substrates. NSJ Bioreagents provides the PEMT Antibody in the context of this lipid-metabolizing target. A PEMT Antibody supports investigation of the enzyme connecting phosphatidylcholine synthesis, hepatic lipid transport, and methyl-group metabolism.

The appropriate working dilution of the PEMT Antibody / Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase Antibody should be optimized by the end user.
The PEMT Antibody was generated using a synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human PEMT.
Once reconstituted, refrigerate the PEMT Antibody at 4oC for no longer than one month. For extended storage, freeze aliquots at -20oC for up to six months and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
