A Fat mass and obesity-associated protein
Rabbit polyclonal purified antibody
Cat. No.: 428 003
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $375.00
Cat. No. 428 003 50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!

Background

Fat mass and obesity-associated protein also known as alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase FTO is an RNA demethylase that mediates oxidative demethylation of different RNA species, such as mRNAs, tRNAs and snRNAs. It has been shown to act as a regulator of fat mass, adipogenesis and energy homeostasis.  FTO specifically demethylates N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA, the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes.
