    Western Blotting 1:1000
    Immunoprecipitation 1:50

    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    DAG Lipase α (D3G8H) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total DAG lipase α protein. This antibody is not predicted to cross-react with DAG lipase β based on sequence homology of the antigen.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser791 of human DAG lipase α protein.

    Background

    Diacylglycerol (DAG) lipases comprise two enzymes called DAG lipase α and β, which are the products of two related genes (1). DAG lipases are transmembrane proteins composed of a short amino-terminal intracellular domain, four transmembrane domains, and a large carboxy-terminal cytoplasmic domain containing the active site. These enzymes are responsible for the biosynthesis of 2-acylglycerol from diacylglycerol in a calcium-dependent manner (1). One of the major endocannabinoid ligands that activate cannabinoid receptors, 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG), is produced by DAG lipases (2). Research studies suggest that DAG lipase α is the isoform primarily responsible for the central production of 2-AG (3). DAG lipase β has been implicated in studies of 2-AG production at the periphery in specific cell types and pathophysiological contexts, such as in hepatic stellate cells during alcohol induced fatty liver (4).
