Anti-LIPM antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein lipase family member M. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 423 amino acid residues and a mass of 48.2 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in the epidermis within the granular keratinocytes. A member of the Lipase protein family, LIPM 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 M, lipase-like abhydrolase domain-containing protein 3, lipase-like, ab-hydrolase domain containing 3, and lipase member M. LIPM gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Western Blot is the most common application for the LIPM antibodies listed below. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
