Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-ECH1 antibody [9D11AF3] (AB110294)
Immunocytochemistry image of ab110294 stained human HDFn cells. The cells were paraformaldehyde fixed (4%, 20 min) and Triton X-100 permeabilized (0.1%, 15min). The cells were incubated with the antibody (9D11AF3, 4 µg/ml) for 2h at room temperature or over night at 4°C. The secondary antibody was (green) AlexaFluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. 10% Goat serum was used as the blocking agent for all blocking steps. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). Target protein locates mainly in the mitochondria.

Product details
ECH1 is a member of the hydratase/isomerase superfamily involved in fatty acid metabolism. It is localized to peroxisomes and/or mitochondria in different mammals. In humans, levels of ECH1 are modulated by peroxisome proliferators. As the name implies, ECH1 catalyzes the isomerization of cis Δ3,5, double bonds in unsaturated acyl-CoAs to yield trans Δ2,4-dienoyl CoAs. These are substrates for Δ2,4-dienoyl CoA reductase which produces trans-3 enoyl CoA. This intermediate can then be further transformed by Δ3, Δ2 - enoyl CoA isomerase to finally yield the trans-2 double bond configured fatty acyl CoA, which can be then directed into the ß-oxidation pathway. Expression of ECH1 is highest in metabolically active tissues such as heart, skeletal muscle, central nervous system, liver and kidney. Recent studies show that it is down regulated in gastric carcinoma and CLL.

Biological function summary
The ECH1 protein facilitates the breakdown and utilization of unsaturated fatty acids thereby providing energy for cellular processes. It acts independently and is not a part of a large protein complex. Mitochondria rely on ECH1 to handle specific intermediates in fatty acid metabolism which impacts how cells manage their energy resources. This makes ECH1 essential for maintaining energy homeostasis particularly during periods of increased metabolic demand.
Pathways
ECH1 is integral to the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. This pathway is important for converting fatty acids into acetyl-CoA units which then enter the Krebs cycle for further energy production. ECH1 interacts with other proteins like ACAA2 which contributes to the final step of fatty acid degradation. Alongside this it aligns with the peroxisomal biogenesis pathway influencing the balance between metabolic processes within mitochondria and peroxisomes.
