DLAT encodes component E2 of the multi-enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). PDC resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A. The protein product of this gene, dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase, accepts acetyl groups formed by the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and transfers them to coenzyme A. Dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase is the antigen for antimitochondrial antibodies. These autoantibodies are present in nearly 95% of patients with the autoimmune liver disease primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). In PBC, activated T lymphocytes attack and destroy epithelial cells in the bile duct where this protein is abnormally distributed and overexpressed. PBC enventually leads to cirrhosis and liver failure.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting points. Titration of the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase E2 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 579-607 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase E2 antibody.
Aliquot the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase E2 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
