Anti-PLPPR5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein phospholipid phosphatase related 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 321 amino acid residues and a mass of 35.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the PA-phosphatase related phosphoesterase protein family, PLPPR5 is known to be involved with the metabolism of lipids and neuronal development. Synonyms for this target antigen include PRG-5, lipid phosphate phosphatase-related protein type 5, phosphatidic acid phosphatase 2d, phosphatidic acid phosphatase type 2, and phospholipid phosphatase-related protein type 5. PLPPR5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the PLPPR5 antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
