Creative Proteomics Upgrades Its Newly-developed Fatty Acids Analysis Services for Scientists

May 10, 2019

SHIRLEY, NY, UNITED STATES - May 11, 2019 - SHIRLEY, NY - May 11, 2019 - Creative Proteomics, as one of the excellent suppliers and manufacturers in the proteomics field, improved their products mainly related to targeted lipidomics. The improved fatty acids analysis services ranges include six: short chain fatty acids, medium-chain and long-chain fatty Acids, very long chain fatty acids, straight chain fatty acids, branched chain fatty acids, and saturated fatty acids. The fatty acids analysis services should be the featured product in Creative Proteomics, and now these upgraded products are available for researchers and scientists. The following will focus on four of the products:

Short-chain Fatty Acids

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are a sub-group of saturated aliphatic fatty acids contain 2-5 carbon (C) atoms, while acetate (C2), propionate (C3), and butyrate (C4) are the most abundant. They are the end products of fermentation of the dietary fibers by beneficial large intestinal bacteria. With an integrated set of separation, characterization, identification and quantification systems featured with excellent robustness & reproducibility, high and ultra-sensitivity, Creative Proteomics provides reliable, rapid and cost-effective short chain fatty acids targeted metabolomics services.

Very Long Chain Fatty Acids

Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are fatty acids with more than 20 carbons. The mutation in VLCFA metabolizing enzymes encoding genes will result in a series of inherited disorders like ichthyosis, demyelination, myopathy, mental retardation, and macular degeneration. With the identification of enzymes associated with VLCFA synthesis and degradation, our knowledge about the function of VLCFAs is increasing accordingly. Creative Proteomics has established sensitive, reliable, and accurate GC-MS method for quantification of very long-chain fatty acids.

Straight Chain Fatty Acids

In cells, straight chain fatty acids play important biological roles. They have a variety of functions, including being incorporated into the membrane for membrane proliferation, energy storage, generation of signaling molecules or oxidized to carbon dioxide as an energy source. The levels of straight chain fatty acids are sensitive to metabolic perturbations. Therefore, they can be served as useful markers for many health conditions and diseases. So far, the profiling of straight chain fatty acid has lead to the discovery of many disease markers, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and many other diseases.

Branched Chain Fatty Acids

Branched chain fatty acids (BCFA) are known to regulate a variety of biological processes and provide positive health benefits. In addition, BSCFAs were shown to regulate homeostasis and protect against lipotoxicity by decreasing the rate of de novo lipogenesis and increasing lipolysis. Finally, BCFAs were shown to regulate gene expressions. Previous studies suggested that sets of genes may be regulated by BCFAs, and impact on cell growth and development. Branched chain fatty acids demonstrate potential health properties, and further studies are needed to understand its regulatory effects on these health outcomes.
