General description
AGPAT2 (1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2) gene contains six exons, and is located to chromosome 9, region q34.3. It is a novel member of the acyltransferase enzyme family comprising of two conserved motifs, NHX(4)D and EGTR. It is highly expressed in liver, and pancreas. Its expression have also been found in placenta and brain subregions at low extent.

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
AGPAT2 (1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2) is involved in enzymatic activity of phospholipid biosynthesis. It converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) to phosphatidic acid (PA) during biosynthesis of glycerophospholipids and triglycerides from glycerol-3-phosphate via catalytic acylation. It also plays a crucial role in regulating the cell proliferation and tumor growth of human osteosarcoma cells.In lipid biosynthesis, it helps to generate phosphatidic acid. Mutation in AGPAT2 causes a rare autosomal recessive disorder, congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) with extreme reduction of white adipose tissue (WAT) mass.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Lysophosphatidic acid (1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate (LPA)) is a phospholipid with diverse biological activities. The mediator serves as an intermediate in membrane phospholipid metabolism but is also produced in acute settings by activated platelets. LPA is converted to phosphatidic acid, itself a lipid
