Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 (gene LPCAT2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 60.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 53 kDa.
LPCAT2 is an endoplasmic reticulum acyltransferase that reacylates lysophosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylcholine in the Lands cycle of membrane remodeling. It also has acetyltransferase activity that makes platelet-activating factor, and it is induced in inflammatory cells. LPCAT2 is studied in phospholipid remodeling and inflammation.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.25 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human 293T cells, human HeLa cells, human Jurkat cells, rat thymus tissue, mouse thymus tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.25 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human glioma tissue, human lung cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): Jurkat cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human LPCAT2 fragment (Gln108–His510), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, Golgi apparatus membrane and cell membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
