Anti-PLAAT2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein phospholipase A and acyltransferase 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 162 amino acid residues and a mass of 17.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. It is reported to be expressed in the liver, kidney, small intestine testis and colon. A member of the H-rev107 protein family, PLAAT2 is known to be involved with the metabolism of lipids. Synonyms for this target antigen include PLA1/2-2, HRAS like suppressor 2, phospholipase A/acyltransferase-2, and HRASLS2. PLAAT2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat and chimpanzee species.
