Anti-LIPA Antibody

This polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is raised against human lysosomal acid lipase (LIPA), the lysosomal hydrolase that cleaves cholesteryl esters and triglycerides delivered by LDL particles. Deficiency of LIPA underlies Wolman disease and cholesteryl ester storage disease, so reliable detection of the protein supports research into lipid metabolism, foam-cell biology, and lysosomal storage disorders.

Supplied as 100 µl of unconjugated rabbit IgG at 1 mg/ml in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, the reagent is validated for western blot and immunohistochemistry on human samples. The glycerol-containing buffer maintains antibody activity through repeated freeze-thaw handling, and aliquoting on first use is recommended for long-term storage at -20 °C. Researchers can titrate the preparation across multiple membranes or tissue sections to optimize signal-to-background in their specific WB or IHC protocol.
