PTM Proteomics

Product Overview

S-palmitoylation (also known as S-acylation) is a common type of lipid modification that covalently links palmitoyl-CoA derived from palmitic acid to a cysteine ​​(C) residue in a protein via a thioester bond. This modification plays a crucial role in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and immune regulation. In recent years, with the rapid development of high-sensitivity mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, palmitoylation proteomics has emerged. As an emerging omics field, it focuses on studying the regulatory role of palmitoylation on protein function and its key mechanisms in cell signal transduction, membrane localization, and protein-protein interactions. Palmitoylation proteomics provides a novel perspective for disease mechanism research, target discovery, and precision medicine, demonstrating significant scientific value and clinical translational potential.

Wininnovate Bio's palmitoylation proteomics product, based on the classic ABE (Acyl-Biotin Exchange) method and combined with a high-depth mass spectrometry platform, enables highly sensitive and comprehensive detection and analysis of palmitoylation in various biological samples, including tissues and cells. This technology can systematically elucidate the regulatory network of palmitoylation modification in cell signal transduction, membrane localization, and protein interactions, helping researchers to deeply understand the regulatory mechanisms of palmitoylation on life activities and providing strong support for disease mechanism research, target discovery, and precision treatment.

Technical Process

The basic procedure for palmitoylation proteomics experiments is as follows: The classic acyl-biotin exchange (ABE) method is used to reduce the palmitoylation modification of proteins to free thiol groups (-SH), which are then labeled with biotin. Following enzyme digestion, biotin-labeled peptides (propalmitoylated peptides) are specifically enriched using streptavidin magnetic beads. The peptides are then eluted and detected using mass spectrometry. Since the palmitoylation site has been converted to alkylation modification (immobilized modification) before mass spectrometry detection, a final library search can identify the propalmitoylation site.
