Description

Functional Role in Fatty Acid Metabolism

PTPLB catalyzes the dehydration of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA intermediates during fatty acid elongation. This step is critical for converting saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (FAs) into very long-chain FAs (VLCFAs), which are essential for membrane lipids, cholesterol esters, and sphingolipids .

Comparative Activity of PTPLB and HACD1

Studies in Hacd1 knockout (KO) mice and human HAP1 cells reveal:

EnzymeActivity in Saturated FAsActivity in Unsaturated FAsTissue SpecificityKey Findings
PTPLBHigh (major contributor)HighUbiquitousDouble KO of HACD1 and HACD2 in HAP1 cells reduces FA elongation by ~80% .
HACD1ModerateModerateSkeletal muscle (highest)Hacd1 KO mice show ~40% reduction in skeletal muscle HACD activity .

Experimental Validation

  • Yeast Assays: Overexpression of PTPLB in yeast rescues FA elongation defects, confirming its role in both saturated and unsaturated pathways .

  • Cellular Disruption: CRISPR-mediated knockout of HACD2 in human cells significantly reduces elongation of C18 and longer FAs, while HACD1 KO has minimal impact .

Applications in Biomedical Research

PTPLB’s recombinant form is widely used to study:

  1. Lipid Pathway Dynamics: Elucidating the interplay between HACD1 and PTPLB in VLCFA synthesis .

  2. Disease Modeling: Investigating myopathies linked to HACD1 mutations, where PTPLB compensatory activity may influence disease progression .

  3. Therapeutic Targeting: Exploring inhibitors or modulators of PTPLB for lipid-related disorders (e.g., sphingolipidoses) .

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, we are happy to accommodate specific format requirements. Please indicate your preference in the order notes, and we will prepare accordingly.
Lead Time
Delivery time may vary depending on the purchasing method and location. Please consult your local distributors for specific delivery timelines.
Note: Our proteins are standardly shipped with blue ice packs. If dry ice shipping is required, please contact us in advance as additional fees will apply.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is discouraged. For optimal results, store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
For optimal reconstitution, we recommend centrifuging the vial briefly before opening to ensure the contents settle to the bottom. Please reconstitute the protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. We recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50%, which can serve as a reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life is influenced by several factors, including storage conditions, buffer components, temperature, and the protein's inherent stability.
Generally, liquid formulations have a shelf life of 6 months at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized forms have a shelf life of 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquoting is recommended for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Tag Info
Tag type is determined during the manufacturing process.
The tag type is decided during production. If you have a specific tag type in mind, please inform us, and we will prioritize developing that tag.

Target Background

Function
Recombinant Bovine 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 2 (PTPLB) is an enzyme that catalyzes the third step in the very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) elongation four-step cycle. This cycle involves condensation, reduction, dehydration, and reduction. The endoplasmic reticulum-elongation process is characterized by the addition of two carbons to the lipid chain with each cycle. PTPLB specifically catalyzes the dehydration of the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA intermediate into trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA, within each cycle of elongation. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in the production of various VLCFAs that are involved in multiple biological processes, acting as precursors for membrane lipids and lipid mediators.
