Anti-HILPDA antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein hypoxia inducible lipid droplet associated. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 63 amino acid residues and a mass of 7 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in renal cell carcinoma cells but barely detectable in adjacent normal kidney tissue. HILPDA is known to be involved with the cellular response to hypoxia and the regulation of cell proliferation. Synonyms for this target antigen include HIG-2, HIG2, hypoxia-inducible lipid droplet-associated protein, hypoxia inducible gene 2, hypoxia-inducible gene 2 protein, and C7orf68. HILPDA gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Some HILPDA antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
