Malic enzyme 1 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Centrifugal Filter Transcript variants for this gene

Transcript variants for this gene have been described

and is imprinted and expressed from the paternal allele

it has not been resolved whether these transcripts are in fact produced by this gene or by a closely related pseudogene

The protein belongs to the fatty acid desaturase family and is an integral membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum

Malic enzyme 1 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Centrifugal Filter Transcript variants for this geneME1 encodes a cytosolic, NADP dependent enzyme that generates NADPH for fatty acid biosynthesis. The activity of this enzyme, the reversible oxidative decarboxylation of malate, links the glycolytic and citric acid cycles. The regulation of expression for ME1 is complex. Increased expression can result from elevated levels of thyroid hormones or by higher proportions of carbohydrates in the diet.
