Anti-Lipin 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the LPIN2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 896 amino acid residues and a mass of 99.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus, ER, and cytoplasm. It is reported to be expressed in the liver, lung, kidney, placenta, spleen, thymus, lymph node, prostate, testes, small intestine, and colon. A member of the Lipin protein family, it is known to act as a magnesium-dependent phosphatidate phosphatase enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol during triglyceride, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis in the reticulum endoplasmic membrane. Other names for this target antigen include phosphatidate phosphatase LPIN2. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of Lipin 2 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
