How do you ensure the specificity and accuracy of your ACACA detection methods?

We ensure the specificity and accuracy of our ACACA detection methods through several rigorous quality control steps. Our antibodies are thoroughly validated for their specificity to the ACACA protein and its phosphorylation sites. We utilize positive and negative controls in all our assays to confirm the validity of our results and perform multiple replicates to ensure the reproducibility and statistical significance of the data.

Can your services distinguish between ACACA and other isoforms, such as ACC2?

Our services are designed to distinguish between ACACA and other isoforms like ACC2. We use specific antibodies that target unique epitopes on the ACACA protein, ensuring no cross-reactivity with ACC2. This allows for the precise measurement of ACACA levels and activity without confounding signals from other related proteins, providing a clear and accurate assessment.

Can you help with the interpretation of the results from the ACACA analysis?

We provide comprehensive support with the interpretation of the results from your ACACA analysis. Our final report includes not only the raw data and a detailed methodology section but also an expert analysis of the findings. Our team of scientists is available for follow-up consultations to discuss the biological implications of your data and to help plan your next steps.

Do you offer customized or multiplex ACACA analysis services?

We offer both customized and multiplex ACACA analysis services to cater to your specific research needs. We can develop a tailored plan that combines various analytical techniques, such as measuring ACACA expression, phosphorylation, and enzymatic activity, in a single study. We can also integrate ACACA analysis with other biomarker assays to provide a broader metabolic profile.

What types of controls do you use in your ACACA analysis assays?

We use a variety of controls in our ACACA analysis assays to ensure the validity and reliability of the results. For Western blotting, we use loading controls like GAPDH or Beta-Actin to normalize protein levels. For other assays, we use positive controls with known ACACA expression and negative controls to rule out any non-specific binding, ensuring the accuracy of our data.

Introduction of ACACA

Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) are enzymes that convert acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, a crucial precursor for fatty acid synthesis. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase α (ACACA), or ACC1, is the primary member of this enzyme family in mammalian cells, localized in the cytosol. This enzyme, which has three functional domains—biotin carboxylase (BC), carboxyl transferase (CT), and biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP)—is highly enriched in adipogenic tissues and vital for metabolic regulation.

Studies highlight ACACA's role in various diseases, especially tumors. ACACA is an important antitumor target in colon cancer and is essential for breast cancer cell survival. Its overexpression in liver cancer contributes to cell proliferation, and its down-regulation in prostate cancer suppresses tumor growth by inhibiting mitochondrial potential. The higher expression of ACACA in prostate cancer patients compared to healthy individuals also underscores its potential as a diagnostic marker.
