REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

ECH1 also known as Delta(35)-Delta(24)-dienoyl-CoA isomerase is a mitochondrial protein with a mass of approximately 31 kDa. It is expressed in a wide variety of tissues including high levels in the liver heart and muscle. This protein plays an important role in the beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids inside mitochondria by catalyzing the conversion of 35-dienoyl-CoA to 24-dienoyl-CoA. Because of this function ECH1 contributes to the efficient metabolism of fatty acids.
Biological function summary
The ECH1 protein facilitates the breakdown and utilization of unsaturated fatty acids thereby providing energy for cellular processes. It acts independently and is not a part of a large protein complex. Mitochondria rely on ECH1 to handle specific intermediates in fatty acid metabolism which impacts how cells manage their energy resources. This makes ECH1 essential for maintaining energy homeostasis particularly during periods of increased metabolic demand.
Pathways
ECH1 is integral to the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. This pathway is important for converting fatty acids into acetyl-CoA units which then enter the Krebs cycle for further energy production. ECH1 interacts with other proteins like ACAA2 which contributes to the final step of fatty acid degradation. Alongside this it aligns with the peroxisomal biogenesis pathway influencing the balance between metabolic processes within mitochondria and peroxisomes.
ECH1 activity impacts conditions such as metabolic syndrome and inherited disorders of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation including Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency. Changes in the function or expression of ECH1 can lead to accumulation of fatty acid intermediates causing cellular dysfunction. In diseases where energy balance is disrupted like metabolic syndrome ECH1's interaction with proteins like HADHA which assists in the final steps of beta-oxidation becomes significant for understanding and potentially targeting treatments.
