anti-PNPLA3 antibody
Patatin-like Phospholiipase Domain Containing protein 3(PNPLA3) is an enzyme that acts as a triacylglycerol lipase.The PNPLA3 activity mediates traiacylclycerol hydrolysis in adipocytes. (1)A nonsynonymous polymorphism in PNPLA3 that is strongly associated with hepatic fat content and with elevated serum levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate amino transferase have been identified (2) PNPLA3 genetic variation may contribute to ancestry-related an inter-individual differences in hepatic fat content and susceptibility to NAFLD(3).
The PNPLA3-selective antibodies were generated against a synthetic peptide taken within amino acid region 150-200 on human Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3.The PNPLA3 synthetic peptide was covalently modified to achiee desired antigenic properties and was conjugated to a carrier protein before used as a immunogen to raise antibodies in rabbits. The PNPLA3 antibodies are affinity purified over immobilized immunogenic peptide affinity matrix and stabilized with preservatives for long-term storage. Antigenic blocking peptide (P-PNPLA3) and western blot positive controls (PC-PNPLA3 )are available. Antibodies can be conjugated to fluorophores or secondary enzymes upon request at nominal cost.

NCBI Summary for PNPLA3
The protein encoded by this gene is a triacylglycerol lipase that mediates triacylglycerol hydrolysis in adipocytes. The encoded protein, which appears to be membrane bound, may be involved in the balance of energy usage/storage in adipocytes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
UniProt Comments for PNPLA3
PNPLA3: Multifunctional enzyme which has both triacylglycerol lipase and acylglycerol O-acyltransferase activities. Genetic variations in PNPLA3 are a cause of susceptibility to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease type 1 (NAFLD1). A condition characterized by an accumulation of excess triglyceride in the liver, a condition known as hepatic steatosis (or fatty liver), which is associated with adverse metabolic consequences, including insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. In a subset of individuals, hepatic steatosis promotes an inflammatory response in the liver, referred to as steatohepatitis, which can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. NAFLD is the most common form of liver disease in Western countries. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
