Background

FTO (FATSO; also known as Fat Mass and Obesity Associated gene) is a 58 kDa member of the AlkB family of Ferrous/2-Oxoglutarate-dependent oxidative DNA/RNA demethylases. It is found the nucleus, and apparently serves to protect single stranded RNA and DNA against methylation. Although FTO is ubiquitously expressed, it has high levels in neurons that are involved in regulating energy intake, and is often found to colocalize with Oxytocin. Evidence suggests it promotes feeding behavior. Human FTO is 505 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one dioxygenase catalytic region (aa 32-327) and a C-terminal FTO domain (aa 329-500). There are three potential isoform variants. One shows a ten aa substitution for aa 1-455, a second contains a 35 aa substitution for aa 1-413, and a third utilizes an alternative start site at Met400. Over aa 1-178, human FTO shares 89% aa identity with mouse FTO.

FAQs for FTO Antibody (FAB7208R). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. Do you have any antibodies against FTO, where you can indicate the sequence of the immunogen?
   • With regards to other FTO antibodies that we do list the peptide sequence for, the immunogen sequence for catalog number NB110-60935 can be found in the range of amino acids 400-505. Many of the exact immunogen sequences used for our products are proprietary and cannot be disclosed. In these instances we try to provide a reasonable amino acid range to help in your decision.
