Biorbyt's Adipophilin Antibody / Perilipin 2 / ADRP / PLIN2 is a Mouse monoclonal antibody. The Adipophilin Antibody / Perilipin 2 / ADRP / PLIN2 was generated using Perilipin 2, and PLIN2 as the antigen. It reacts with Homo Sapiens, and Human. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Cell Sorting, Isolation, Flow Cytometry, Immunofluorescence, and Western Blot.
Description
Adipophilin, also called Perilipin 2, ADRP (Adipose differentiation related protein), and PLIN2, belongs to the perilipin family, members of which coat intracellular lipid storage droplets. This protein is associated with the lipid globule surface membrane material and maybe involved in development and maintenance of adipose tissue. It is not restricted to adipocytes as previously thought, but is found in a wide range of cultured cell lines, including fibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells, and tissues, such as lactating mammary gland, adrenal cortex, Sertoli and Leydig cells, and hepatocytes in alcoholic liver cirrhosis, suggesting that it may serve as a marker of lipid accumulation in diverse cell types and diseases
