ABHD5 Antibody recognizes alpha/beta hydrolase domain-containing protein 5, a lipid metabolism regulatory protein encoded by the ABHD5 gene. Also known as CGI-58, ABHD5 associates with intracellular lipid droplets and has an important role in controlling the mobilization of stored triglycerides. The protein belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase family but differs from conventional hydrolases in key residues associated with catalytic activity.
ABHD5 is an important coactivator of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), encoded by PNPLA2. Under conditions that promote lipolysis, CGI-58 interacts with ATGL and enhances the hydrolysis of triglycerides stored within lipid droplets. This activity facilitates the release of fatty acids for downstream metabolic processes and places ABHD5 at a key regulatory point between lipid storage and lipid mobilization.
The localization and activity of ABHD5 are closely linked to lipid droplet biology. Interactions with perilipin proteins help regulate the availability of CGI-58 for ATGL activation, allowing cells to coordinate triglyceride breakdown with metabolic demand. ABHD5 has therefore become an important protein for investigating lipid droplet dynamics, lipolysis, fatty acid metabolism, and mechanisms governing cellular energy homeostasis.
Loss-of-function variants in ABHD5 cause Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, also known as neutral lipid storage disease with ichthyosis. The disorder is characterized by abnormal accumulation of triglyceride-containing lipid droplets in multiple tissues, illustrating the importance of CGI-58 in normal lipid mobilization. ABHD5 biology is also studied in adipocyte function, hepatic lipid metabolism, skin biology, inflammation, and metabolic disease.
An ABHD5 Antibody can support research into lipid droplet biology, triglyceride metabolism, ATGL-dependent lipolysis, and cellular lipid homeostasis. NSJ Bioreagents provides antibodies for research investigating CGI-58 and molecular mechanisms controlling the storage and mobilization of intracellular lipids.
Explore our Cell Biology Antibodies for additional research into lipid droplets, cellular metabolism, and intracellular regulation.
Differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity may require the ABHD5 Antibody / CGI-58 Antibody to be titrated for optimal performance.
Amino acids R169-D349 from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the ABHD5 antibody.
After reconstitution, the ABHD5 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
