Background

Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) is a novel protein and a member of the non-heme dioxygenase (Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases) superfamily. Though not much is yet known about FTO, it is thought that the protein may somehow modify the activity of genes involved in metabolism and fat storage, which in turn may influence a person's risk of obesity.

FTO antibodies are useful tools for lipid metabolism research and obesity studies.

FAQs for FTO ELISA Kit (NBP3-55578). (Showing 1 - 2 of 2 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.
2. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
