Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Synthetic peptide corresponding to a region of mouse FTO.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 2% sucrose, 0.09% sodium azide.
Extra Details:: Fto is a dioxygenase that repairs alkylated DNA and RNA by oxidative demethylation. Fto has highest activity towards single-stranded RNA containing 3-methyluracil, followed by single-stranded DNA containing 3-methylthymine. Fto has low demethylase activity towards single-stranded DNA containing 1-methyladenine or 3-methylcytosine. Fto has no activity towards 1-methylguanine and no detectable activity towards double-stranded DNA. Fto requires molecular oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and iron. Fto contributes to the regulation of the global metabolic rate, energy expenditure and energy homeostasis. Fto contributes to the regulation of body size and body fat accumulation. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
