Acyltransferase
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase; Diglyceride acyltransferase; acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase; mono- acylglycerol acyltransferase
Acyltransferase (AT) catalyzes the transfer of an acyl moiety from acyl-coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) to an acceptor. Acyltransferases play important roles in the maintenance of homeostasis in the human body and have been linked to various diseases. The Acyltransferase family includes acyl-CoA:cholesterol AT (ACAT), diacylglycerol AT (DGAT), and monoacylglycerol AT (MGAT) for the metabolism of lipids.
ACAT (acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase) is an intracellular enzyme that catalyzes the formation of cholesterol esters from cholesterol and fatty acyl-coenzyme A. In mammals, two isoenzymes, ACAT1 and ACAT2, encoded by two different genes, exist. ACATs play important roles in cellular cholesterol homeostasis in various tissues.
DGAT (acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase) is an integral membrane enzyme that catalyses the last step of triacylglycerol synthesis from diacylglycerol and acyl-CoA. DGAT activity resides mainly in two distinct membrane bound polypeptides, known as DGAT1 and DGAT2.
MGAT (acyl-CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase) catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerol, the precursor of physiologically important lipids such as triacylglycerol and phospholipids. In the intestine, MGAT plays a major role in the absorption of dietary fat because resynthesis of triacylglycerol is required for the assembly of lipoproteins that transport absorbed fat to other tissues.

Choloylglycine hydrolase
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-P2958CAS No.: 37289-07-9Synonyms: Bile salt hydrolaseCholoylglycine hydrolase (Bile salt hydrolase) is an important intestinal hydrolase. Choloylglycine hydrolase not only catalyzes the decomposition of conjugated bile acids into free bile acids and amino acids, but also exhibits amine N-acyltransferase activity, which re-links amino acids/amines to free bile acids (even conjugated bile acids) to produce bacterial bile acid amides. Choloylglycine hydrolase regulates the composition of the bile acid pool, intestinal mucosal barrier integrity, intestinal inflammatory responses, intestinal flora composition, host weight gain, circadian rhythm, and colonization resistance to Clostridioides difficile. Choloylglycine hydrolase can be used in the research of inflammatory bowel diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Beauvericin-13C45
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-N6739SPurity: 98%Beauvericin-13C45 is 13C labeled Beauvericin (HY-N6739). Beauvericin is a cyclohexapeptide Fusarium toxin with insecticidal, antibacterial, anticancer, antiviral and cytotoxic activities. Beauvericin causes cellular genotoxicity by producing DNA breaks, chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei, and inhibits the PI3K/AKT pathway to induce apoptosis, thereby inhibiting the growth of HCC. In addition, Beauvericin affects immune function by inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation and interfering with the differentiation process of human monocytes into macrophages.
