The Plin ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of Plin in various samples. Plin is an alternative name for the human PLIN1 gene, which encodes the protein, perilipin 1. It has been mentioned that Plin plays a role in the metabolism of lipids, among other functions. Structurally, the PLIN1 protein is described to be 522 amino acid residues in length and 56 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the ER of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in adipocytes from white adipose tissue. This protein is known to be phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include FPLD4 and PERI. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
