Description

Introduction to Recombinant Bovine 3-Hydroxyacyl-CoA Dehydratase 3 (PTPLAD1)

Recombinant Bovine 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 3 (PTPLAD1), also known as HACD3, is an engineered enzyme produced via heterologous expression systems for biochemical and pharmaceutical research. This protein catalyzes the third step of fatty acid elongation, converting 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA intermediates into trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA, a critical process for synthesizing very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) essential for membrane lipids and signaling molecules .

Production and Purification

Recombinant bovine PTPLAD1 is produced in two primary systems:

ParameterYeast Expression E. coli Expression
HostSaccharomyces cerevisiaeEscherichia coli
TagUndisclosedN-terminal 10xHis
Purity>85% (SDS-PAGE)Full-length, no purity specified
StorageLyophilized (-20°C/-80°C)Liquid (-20°C/-80°C)
Reconstitution0.1–1.0 mg/mL in sterile waterNot required

Enzymatic Activity and Substrate Specificity

PTPLAD1 exhibits specificity for long- and very-long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA substrates:

SubstrateActivity LevelBiological Role
Saturated FAsModerate Membrane lipid synthesis
Monounsaturated FAsModerate Energy storage
Polyunsaturated FAsLow Lipid mediator production

Key findings:

  • Redundant activity: Works alongside HACD1/2 in elongation pathways but shows weaker activity in saturated/monounsaturated FA synthesis .

  • Autophagic regulation: Competes with SQSTM1/p62 to stabilize viral PB1 protein, suggesting moonlighting roles .

Research Applications

  1. Fatty Acid Metabolism Studies: Used to elucidate VLCFA elongation mechanisms .

  2. Membrane Fluidity Research: Partners with ACSL4 to incorporate polyunsaturated fatty acids into phospholipids .

  3. Drug Development: Investigated for insulin receptor modulation and antiviral therapies .

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, we are happy to accommodate specific format requests. Please clearly indicate your desired format when placing your order, and we will prepare accordingly.
Lead Time
Delivery times may vary depending on the purchasing method and location. Please consult your local distributor for specific delivery details.
Note: All proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs unless otherwise requested. For dry ice shipping, please contact us in advance. Additional fees will apply.
Notes
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles are not recommended. For optimal use, store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
We recommend centrifuging the vial briefly prior to opening to ensure the contents settle at the bottom. Please reconstitute the protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. For long-term storage, we recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting for storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final glycerol concentration is 50%, which can serve as a reference point.
Shelf Life
Shelf life is influenced by various factors including storage conditions, buffer ingredients, temperature, and the inherent stability of the protein.
Generally, liquid form has a shelf life of 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Lyophilized form has 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.

Target Background

Function
This enzyme catalyzes the third step in the four-step long-chain fatty acid elongation cycle, which is an endoplasmic reticulum-bound process. This cycle enables the addition of two carbons per cycle to the chain of long- and very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). Specifically, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 3 (PTPLAD1) catalyzes the dehydration of the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA intermediate into trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA within each elongation cycle. This process plays a crucial role in the production of VLCFAs of varying chain lengths, which are essential components of membrane lipids and lipid mediators. PTPLAD1 is also involved in Rac1-signaling pathways, modulating gene expression, promoting insulin receptor (INSR) autophosphorylation, and participating in INSR internalization.
