Related Product Information for
anti-PNPLA2 antibody
Triglycerides are the most efficient form of energy storage in mammalian adipose tissue during times of caloric excess. ATGL is one of the key enzymes involved in the mobilization of fatty acids from triglyceride stores in adipose tissue, catalyzing the conversion of triacylglycerols to diacylglycerols. Inhibition of ATGL markedly decreases total adipose acyl-hydrolase activity, and thus may be a potential drug target for the diabetic pathology. ATGL mRNA is detected in a wide range of tissues including adipose, lung, skeletal muscle, testis, heart, brain, and kidney, with adipose tissue expressing the highest level.

NCBI Summary for PNPLA2
This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the first step in the hydrolysis of triglycerides in adipose tissue. Mutations in this gene are associated with neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy. [provided by RefSeq]
UniProt Comments for PNPLA2
PNPLA2: the rate-limiting lipolytic enzyme in mammals, flies, and yeast. Catalyzes the initial step in triglyceride hydrolysis in adipocyte and non-adipocyte lipid droplets. Upregulated by exercise training in human skeletal muscle. Has acylglycerol transacylase activity. May act coordinately with HSL within the lipolytic cascade. Regulates adiposome size and may be involved in the degradation of adiposomes. May play an important role in energy homeostasis. May play a role in the response of the organism to starvation, enhancing hydrolysis of triglycerides and providing free fatty acids to other tissues to be oxidized in situations of energy depletion. Interacting with ABHD5 stimulates its triglyceride hydrolase activity. Despite a colocalization in lipid droplets, it probably does not interact with perilipin. Transcriptionally regulated by FOXO1A. Defects cause neutral lipid storage disease (NLSD), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the excessive accumulation of neutral lipids in multiple tissues. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
