Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 2, mitochondrial (gene CPT2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 73.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 74 kDa.
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2) is an inner mitochondrial membrane enzyme that converts acylcarnitines back into acyl-CoAs inside the matrix. This allows long-chain fatty acids to undergo β-oxidation, and CPT2 deficiency is a common inherited disorder of fatty acid oxidation.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human THP-1 cells, human HEL cells, human RT4 cells, human SiHa cells, rat small intestine tissue, rat kidney tissue, mouse small intestine tissue, mouse kidney tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 10% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human colon cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): SiHa cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human CPT2/CPT1 fragment (Gln33–Asp646), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 2, mitochondrial in the mitochondrion inner membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
