Specific Description   The LASS (longevity assurance homolog) family members represent a subgroup of the homeobox gene family and are highly conserved from yeasts to mammals. Six members of this family of proteins have been characterized (LASS1-6) and all are involved in ceramide synthesis during cell growth regulation and cancer differentiation. Like the highly homologous LASS5, LASS6 is also an endoplasmic reticulum, multi-pass membrane protein. LASS6 is also involved in the synthesis of C14, C16 and C18-ceramide, but shows a preference for unsaturated fatty acids. LASS6 is broadly expressed in a wide range of tissues and microarray data suggests that it may play a role in cancer differentiation and early embryonic development. At least two isoforms of LASS6 are known to exist. This antibody is predicted not to cross-react with LASS5.
Storage   LASS6 antibody can be stored at 4°C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
