Anti-LIPK antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein lipase family member K. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 399 amino acid residues and a mass of 45.6 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. It is notably expressed in the epidermis within the granular keratinocytes. A member of the Lipase protein family, LIPK is known to play a highly specific role in the last step of keratinocyte differentiation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include lipase K, lipase-like abhydrolase domain-containing protein 2, lipase-like, ab-hydrolase domain containing 2, and lipase member K. LIPK gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Immunofluorescence is a widely used application for the LIPK antibodies listed below. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
