Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation Specificity / Sensitivity LASS2 (F7G3B) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total LASS2 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with LASS1 or LASS6 and, based on homology, is not predicted to cross-react with other LASS family members. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human LASS2 protein. Background The mammalian ceramide synthases (CerS), also known as longevity assurance homologues (LASS), are a family of proteins that catalyze the formation of ceramide from acyl-CoA and sphingosine as part of the ceramide salvage pathway (1). Sphingosine, derived from the lysosomal breakdown of complex glycosphingolipids, can be delivered to the endoplasmic reticulum for LASS-dependent ceramide production (1). LASS family members exhibit preferences for different acyl-CoA fatty acid chain lengths (2-6) and have distinct tissue expression patterns, with notable enrichment of LASS1 in brain, LASS2 in liver and kidney, LASS3 in testis and skin, and LASS6 in intestine (6,7). Similarly, LASS proteins may function as tumor suppressors or promoters depending on tumor origin and metabolic context (8-11).
