Guinea pig 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase beta (AGPAT2) ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase family. The protein is located within the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and converts lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid, the second step in de novo phospholipid biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL), or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, a disease characterized by a near absence of adipose tissue and severe insulin resistance. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
AGPAT2: Converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone. Defects in AGPAT2 are the cause of congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 1 (CGL1); also known as Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy type 1 (BSCL1) or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome. CGL1 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by marked paucity of adipose tissue, extreme insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic steatosis and early onset of diabetes. Belongs to the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Guinea Pig AGPAT2 agpat2 (Catalog #AAA7222136) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7222136 ELISA Kit recognizes Guinea Pig AGPAT2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase beta (AGPAT2), ELISA Kit" 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
