Monoclonal Anti-LPP (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the hybridoma LPP4 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide. Lipoma-preferred partner (LPP) gene encodes for the LPP protein, prominently expressed in smooth muscle. This protein contains a proline-rich N-terminal region and three C-terminally located LIN-11, Isl-1, and MEC-3 (LIM) domains. LPP protein is a member of the zyxin family. LPP is localized at sites of cell adhesion such as focal adhesions and cell-cell contacts. The LPP gene is mapped on the human chromosome at 3q27.3-q28.
Specificity
Monoclonal Anti-LPP recognizes human LPP.
Application
Anti-LPP antibody, Mouse monoclonal may be used in immunoblotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lipoma-preferred partner (LPP) protein shuttles between cell adhesion sites and the nucleus where it has transcriptional activation capacity. LPP interacts with α-actin and VASP at cell adhesions via its N-terminal. It also interacts with tumor suppressor protein scrib at cell-cell contacts. The LPP gene is being rearranged in a subgroup of lipomas, which are benign tumors of adipose tissue. The LPP gene acts as a translocation partner in acute monoblastic leukemia.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
Store at –20 °C. For continuous use, the product may be stored at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze at –20 °C in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.

At sites of cell adhesion, proteins exist that not only perform structural tasks but also have a signaling function. Previously, we found that the Lipoma Preferred Partner (LPP) protein is localized at sites of cell adhesion such as focal adhesions
