Anti-lipase, hepatic antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the lipase, hepatic antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the LIPC gene, which encodes lipase C, hepatic type. This protein is known to function in cholesterol metabolism and homeostasis and the metabolism of lipids, among other biological roles. The human version of lipase, hepatic has a canonical amino acid length of 499 residues and a protein mass of 55.9 kilodaltons. It is reported to be a secreted protein. Other names for this target antigen include HDLCQ12, HL, and HTGL. Immunofluorescence is the most common application for the lipase, hepatic antibodies listed below. Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
