Anti-PNLIP antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein pancreatic lipase. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 465 amino acid residues and a mass of 51.2 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. It is notably expressed in the pancreas. A member of the Lipase protein family, PNLIP is known to play an important role in fat metabolism. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. The PNLIP marker can be used to identify Adipocytes.* Synonyms for this target antigen include PNLIPD, PTL, pancreatic triacylglycerol lipase, triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, triacylglycerol lipase, and PL. PNLIP gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat and chimpanzee species. A number of PNLIP antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Western Blot are also common applications.
