Anti-PLA2G15 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein phospholipase A2 group XV. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 412 amino acid residues and a mass of 46.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the lysosomes, membrane, and is secreted. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in blood plasma. A member of the Lipase protein family, PLA2G15 is known to have dual calcium-independent phospholipase and O-acyltransferase activities with a potential role in glycerophospholipid homeostasis and remodeling of acyl groups of lipophilic alcohols present in acidic cellular compartments. Post-translational modifications have been described, including N-glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include GXVPLA2, LLPL, LPLA2, LYPLA3, 1-O-acylceramide synthase, and ACS. PLA2G15 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some PLA2G15 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
