Rabbit Anti-Adipose Triglyceride Lipase/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) may function as a lipase and play a role in the adaptive response to a low energy state, such as fasting, by providing fatty acids to other tissues for oxidation. In addition, decreased expression of desnutrin in obesity models suggests its possible contribution to the pathophysiology of obesity. ATGL catalyzes the initial step in triglyceride hydrolysis in mammalian adipose tissue. ATGL contains a patatin domain common to plant acyl hydrolases. ATGL is highly expressed in adipose tissue of mice and humans. It exhibits high substrate specificity for triacylglycerol and is associated with lipid droplets. Inhibition of ATGL markedly decreases total adipose acyl hydrolase activity. Thus, ATGL and HSL coordinately catabolize stored triglycerides in adipose tissue of mammals.
Subunit:
Interacts with ASHD5; this association stimulates PNPLA2 triglyceride hydrolase activity.
Subcellular Location:
Lipid droplet. Cell membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Highest expression in adipose tissue. Also detected in heart, skeletal muscle, and portions of the gastrointestinal tract. Detected in normal retina and retinoblastoma cells. Detected in retinal pigment epithelium and, at lower intensity, in the inner segments of photoreceptors and in the ganglion cell layer of the neural retina (at protein level).
Similarity:
Contains 1 patatin domain.
