Anti-SGPP2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatase 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 399 amino acid residues and a mass of 44.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is noted to be expressed strongly in the kidney and heart, followed by brain, colon, small intestine and lung. A member of the Type 2 lipid phosphate phosphatase protein family, SGPP2 is known to have specific phosphohydrolase activity towards sphingoid base 1-phosphates. Synonyms for this target antigen include sphingosine-1-phosphatase 2, sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphotase 2, and sphingosine 1-phosphate phosphohydrolase 2. SGPP2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some SGPP2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
