There are a number of ELISA Kits available for the measurement of VCIP, another term for the human protein, phospholipid phosphatase 3. Other synonyms may include: PAP2 beta, lipid phosphate phosphohydrolase 3, phosphatidate phosphohydrolase type 2b, phosphatidic acid phosphatase type 2B, vascular endothelial growth factor and type I collagen inducible, Dri42, and LPP3. It is encoded by the PLPP3 gene to yield a protein 311 amino acids in length and 35.1 kDa in size. The protein, an enzyme, is categorized into the PA-phosphatase related phosphoesterase family. Versions of VCIP are present in other organisms, including: Mouse, Rat, Zebrafish, Frog, Chicken.
