PEDFR/PNPLA2/ATGL Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 2 (PNPLA2), also known as adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), is a lipolytic enzyme required for mobilization of fatty acids from triglyceride stores in adipose tissue. Until recently, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) was the only enzyme known to hydrolyze triglycerides in mammalian adipose tissue. However, ATGL has now been shown to catalyze the initial step of triglyceride hydrolysis in adipocyte and non-adipocyte lipid droplets. Thus, ATGL and HSL coordinate to catabolize stored triglycerides in adipose tissue of mammals.

Defects in PNPLA2 can lead to neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy (NLSDM), a neutral lipid storage disorder with myopathy but without ichthyosis.

ATGL antibodies can serve as useful tools for adipocyte studies and research on triglyceride processing and fat storage.
