The PNPLA8 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO22216) is a valuable tool for researchers studying PNPLA8, a protein involved in lipid metabolism and cellular homeostasis. This antibody, produced in rabbits, specifically targets the PNPLA8 protein in human samples, allowing for precise detection and analysis in Western blot applications.PNPLA8, also known as adiponutrin, is a key regulator of lipid droplet dynamics and triglyceride metabolism.
Its dysregulation has been associated with various metabolic disorders, making it a promising target for research in obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. By utilizing the PNPLA8 Polyclonal Antibody, researchers can further investigate the role of PNPLA8 in these conditions and potentially uncover new therapeutic strategies.

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a member of the patatin-like phospholipase domain containing protein family. Members of this family are phospholipases which catalyze the cleavage of fatty acids from membrane phospholipids. The product of this gene is a calcium-independent phospholipase. Mutations in this gene have been associated with mitochondrial myopathy with lactic acidosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
