Rising obesity rates are rapidly becoming a growing health concern in the developing world. The fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) is the first gene discovered to contribute to common forms of human obesity. FTO is a member of the non-heme dioxygenase superfamily, encoding a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent nucleic acid demethylase whose mRNA is widely expressed, especially in neurons of feeding-related nuclei of the brain. FTO mRNA in the arcuate nucleus in mice is up-regulated by feeding and down-regulated during fasting, although the opposite pattern has been observed in rats. At least four isoforms of FTO are known to exist.
Additional Names : FTO, Fat mass and obesity associated
Description
Left: Western blot analysis of FTO in human uterus tissue lysate with FTO antibody at (A) 1 and (B) 2 µg/ml.
Below:Immunohistochemistry of FTO in mouse brain tissue with FTO antibody at 2.5 μg/ml.
Other Product Images
Source :FTO antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid peptide from near the amino terminus of human FTO.
Purification : Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
Clonality and Clone : This is a polyclonal antibody.
Host : FTO antibody was raised in rabbit.
Please use anti-rabbit secondary antibodies.
Application : FTO antibody can be used for detection of FTO by Western blot at 1 - 2 µg/ml.
