PNPLA3 blocking peptide
PNPLA3 Antibody (N-term) Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a triacylglycerol lipase that mediates triacylglycerol hydrolysis in adipocytes. The encoded protein, which appears to be membrane bound, may be involved in the balance of energy usage/storage in adipocytes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
PNPLA3: Multifunctional enzyme which has both triacylglycerol lipase and acylglycerol O-acyltransferase activities. Genetic variations in PNPLA3 are a cause of susceptibility to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease type 1 (NAFLD1). A condition characterized by an accumulation of excess triglyceride in the liver, a condition known as hepatic steatosis (or fatty liver), which is associated with adverse metabolic consequences, including insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. In a subset of individuals, hepatic steatosis promotes an inflammatory response in the liver, referred to as steatohepatitis, which can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. NAFLD is the most common form of liver disease in Western countries. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The PNPLA3 pnpla3 (Catalog #AAA9221583) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PNPLA3, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
