Product Specific Information

PA1-760 detects serotonin N-acetyltransferase (AA-NAT) from rat tissues.

PA1-760 has been successfully used in Western blot procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~23 kDa protein representing unphosphorylated and phosphorylated AA-NAT from rat pineal gland whole protein extract.

PA1-760 immunizing phosphopeptide (Cat. # PEP-064) corresponds to amino-terminal amino acid residues 24-33 of mouse AA-NAT. Total anti-amino-terminal AA-NAT-specific IgG (Cat. # PA1-760) was affinity purified on resin-coupled non-phosphopeptide (Cat. # PEP-063). Phospho-specific amino-terminal IgG (Cat. # PA1-761) was subsequently isolated on resin-coupled phosphopeptide (Cat. # PEP-064). This sequence is completely conserved between mouse, rat, and human AA-NAT protein.

Target Information

Arylalkylamine N-Acetyltransferase (AANAT) is the penultimate enzyme is melatonin synthesis. Hormonal melatonin has been implicated in sleep and circadian clock function. Large changes in the abundance of AANAT are believed to be responsible for the large day/night rhythms in melatonin synthesis in the pineal gland and retina. Most research shows that AANAT activity is regulated by controlling the steady-state levels of the protein. Recent research, however, suggests that another mechanism may also play a role in controlling melatonin production without altering AANAT protein and activity. This mechanism may explain the sudden physiological increase in circulating melatonin observed at the onset of the dark period in humans.
