Anti-Hormone-sensitive Lipase antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the Hormone-sensitive Lipase antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the LIPE gene, which encodes lipase E, hormone sensitive type. This protein is known to function in cholesterol metabolism and homeostasis and the metabolism of lipids, among other biological roles. The human version of Hormone-sensitive Lipase has a canonical amino acid length of 1076 residues and a protein mass of 116.6 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm of cells and notably expressed in many tissues, such as in adipose tissue and breast. Other names for this target antigen include AOMS4, FPLD6, and HSL. ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for Hormone-sensitive Lipase antibodies.
