Lipin 1 Antibody

5195:

Immunofluorescence , Immunoprecipitation , Western Blotting

Lipin 1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Lipin 1 protein.

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gln883 of human Lipin 1 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from human white pre-adipocytes and human white adipocytes using Lipin 1 Antibody (upper) and β-Actin Antibody #4967 (lower).

IF-IC

Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of 3T3-L1 adipocytes using Lipin 1 Antibody (red). Lipid droplets were labeled with BODIPY^® 493/503 (green). Blue pseudocolor = DRAQ5^® #4084 (fluorescent DNA dye).

Lipin 1 was identified as a nuclear protein required for adipose tissue development (1). The expression of Lipin 1 is induced during adipocyte differentiation (1). The abnormal development of adipose tissues caused by mutations in the lipin 1 gene results in lipodystrophy, a condition associated with low body fat, fatty liver, hypertriglyceridemia, and insulin resistance (1). Lipin 1 plays a role in lipid metabolism in various tissues and cell types including liver, muscle, adipose tissues, and neuronal cell lines (2-4). It has dual functions at the molecular level: Lipin 1 serves as a transcriptional coactivator in liver, and a phosphatidate phosphatase in triglyceride and phospholipid biosynthesis pathways (5). Lipin1 is regulated by mTOR, illustrating a connection between adipocyte development and nutrient-sensing pathways (6). It also mediates hepatic insulin signaling by TORC2/CRTC2 (7).
