Plays important roles in controlling the metabolism of fatty acids at different levels. Acts as a magnesium-dependent phosphatidate phosphatase enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol during triglyceride, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis in the reticulum endoplasmic membrane. Acts also as a nuclear transcriptional coactivator for PPARGC1A/PPARA to modulate lipid metabolism gene expression (By similarity). Is involved in adipocyte differentiation. May also be involved in mitochondrial fission by converting phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol (By similarity).

Sequence Similarity
Belongs to the lipin family.
Tissue Specificity
Specifically expressed in skeletal muscle. Also abundant in adipose tissue. Lower levels in some portions of the digestive tract.
Post-translational Modification
Phosphorylated at multiple sites in response to insulin. Phosphorylation is controlled by the mTOR signaling pathway. Phosphorylation is decreased by epinephrine. Phosphorylation may not directly affect the catalytic activity but may regulate the localization. Dephosphorylated by the CTDNEP1-CNEP1R1 complex (By similarity).; Sumoylated.

Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (ET7108-51) at 1/500 dilution was used in 5% NFDM/TBST at room temperature for 2 hours. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 5,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
Immunocytochemistry analysis of HUVEC cells labeling Lipin 1 with Rabbit anti-Lipin 1 antibody (ET7108-51) at 1/50 dilution.
Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes at 37 ℃, permeabilized with 0.05% Triton X-100 in PBS for 20 minutes, and then blocked with 2% negative goat serum for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with Rabbit anti-Lipin 1 antibody (ET7108-51) at 1/50 dilution in 2% negative goat serum overnight at 4 ℃. Alexa Fluor®488 conjugate-Goat anti-Rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human liver carcinoma tissue with Rabbit anti-Lipin 1 antibody (ET7108-51) at 1/50 dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 8.0-8.4) for 20 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (ET7108-51) at 1/50 dilution for 0.5 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
