Rabbit anti-Human Lipin 1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q14693

Target Species

Human

Target Name

LPIN1

Target Full Name

Phosphatidate phosphatase LPIN1

Target Function

Acts as a magnesium-dependent phosphatidate phosphatase enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol during triglyceride, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis and therefore controls the metabolism of fatty acids at different levels. Acts also as nuclear transcriptional coactivator for PPARGC1A/PPARA regulatory pathway to modulate lipid metabolism gene expression. Is involved in adipocyte differentiation. Isoform 1 is recruited at the mitochondrion outer membrane and is involved in mitochondrial fission by converting phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol.

Target Involvement

Myoglobinuria, acute recurrent, autosomal recessive (ARARM)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus membrane. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

Target Protein Families

Lipin family

Target Tissue Specificity

Specifically expressed in skeletal muscle. Also abundant in adipose tissue. Lower levels in some portions of the digestive tract.

Target Synonyms

EC=3.1.3.4; KIAA0188 ; Lipin-1; Lpin1; LPIN1_HUMAN; PAP1; Phosphatidate phosphatase LPIN1

Target Background

This gene encodes a magnesium-ion-dependent phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the penultimate step in triglyceride synthesis including the dephosphorylation of phosphatidic acid to yield diacylglycerol. Expression of this gene is required for adipocyte differentiation and it also functions as a nuclear transcriptional coactivator with some peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors to modulate expression of other genes involved in lipid metabolism. Mutations in this gene are associated with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, acute recurrent rhabdomyolysis, and autosomal recessive acute recurrent myoglobinuria (ARARM). This gene is also a candidate for several human lipodystrophy syndromes.
