LIPG Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This gene encodes gastric lipase| an enzyme involved in the digestion of dietary triglycerides in the gastrointestinal tract| and responsible for 30% of fat digestion processes occurring in human. It is secreted by gastric chief cells in the fundic mucosa of the stomach| and it hydrolyzes the ester bonds of triglycerides under acidic pH conditions. The gene is a member of a conserved gene family of lipases that play distinct roles in neutral lipid metabolism. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
