Anti-GPAM antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, mitochondrial. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 828 amino acid residues and a mass of 93.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. It is notably expressed in the testis, breast, and adipose tissue. A member of the GPAT/DAPAT protein family, GPAM is known to be involved with viral immune response and fatty acid metabolism. The GPAM marker can be used to identify Adipocytes.* Synonyms for this target antigen include glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1, mitochondrial and GPAT-1. GPAM gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
