Anti-PLPP2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein phospholipid phosphatase 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 288 amino acid residues and a mass of 32.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER and cell membrane. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the PA-phosphatase related phosphoesterase protein family, PLPP2 is known to be involved with the metabolism of lipids and signal transduction pathways. Post-translational modifications have been described, including N-glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include PAP-2c, PAP2-g, PPAP2C, PAP2-gamma, PAP2c, and LPP2. PLPP2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some PLPP2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
