General description
LPCAT2 (lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2) gene encodes a protein belonging to the lysophospholipid acyltransferase family. It contains LPLAT, EF hand-like, and KKXX motifs and is localized to the ER. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 16q12.2. It is most abundantly expressed in resident macrophages and casein-induced neutrophils. It is also expressed in skin, colon, spleen, and thioglycolate-induced macrophages.

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
Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 catalyzes PAF (platelet-activating factor) biosynthesis from 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in the remodeling pathway. It is also involved in the synthesis of glycerophospholipid precursors from arachidonyl-CoA and lysophosphatidylcholine. It converts lyso-PAF to 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PC), a major component of cell membranes and a PAF precursor. Its expression is induced by bacterial infection but not by viral infection. It plays a role in membrane biogenesis, membrane homeostasis of inflammatory cells. It utilizes acetyl-CoA to product PAF on acute inflammatory stimulation with lipopolysaccharide. The enzyme undergoes p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-dependent phosphorylation and activation. Its activity is calcium-dependent.
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.

Cell membranes contain several classes of glycerophospholipids, which have numerous structural and functional roles in the cells. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, including arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, are located at the sn-2 (but not sn-1)-position of glycerophospholipids in an asymmetrical manner.
