mouse monoclonal IgG1; Gastric Lipase Antibody (H-1) is an IgG1 κ mouse monoclonal Gastric Lipase antibody (also designated Gastric Lipase antibody) that detects the Gastric Lipase protein of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IP, IF, IHC(P) and ELISA. Gastric Lipase Antibody (H-1) is available as both the non-conjugated anti-Gastric Lipase antibody form, as well as multiple conjugated forms of anti-Gastric Lipase antibody, including agarose, HRP, PE, FITC and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. The lipase gene family belongs to one of the most robust genetic superfamilies found in living organisms, which includes esterases and thioesterases. The AB hydrolase subfamily plays a crucial role in the metabolism of lipids. Members of this family include Hepatic Lipase (HL), Endothelial Lipase (EL), Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL), Pancreatic Lipase (PL), Gastric Lipase (GL), LCAT and Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL). Gastric Lipase is a 379-amino acid protein that is highly homologus to LAL and is involved in the digestion of dietary triglycerides in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in individuals with pancreatic lipase deficiencies. Gastric Lipase is secreted by the fundic mucosa of the stomach and, under acidic pH conditions, it hydrolyzes the ester bonds of triglycerides.
