Anti-AGPAT2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 278 amino acid residues and a mass of 30.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in adipose tissue, pancreas and liver. A member of the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase protein family, AGPAT2 is known to be involved with epidermis development and the metabolism of lipids. The AGPAT2 gene has been associated with the disease, Congenital generalized lipodystrophy. Synonyms for this target antigen include BSCL, BSCL1, LPAAB, LPAAT-beta, LPLAT2, and 1-AGPAT2. AGPAT2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some Agpat2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
