Quick Overview for RBP4 antibody (Biotin) (ABIN1169045)

Target: RBP4 (Retinol Binding Protein 4, Plasma (RBP4))

Reactivity: Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This RBP4 antibody is conjugated to Biotin

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA

Product Details anti-RBP4 Antibody (Biotin)

Purpose: anti-RBP4 (rat), pAb (Biotin)

Specificity: Recognizes rat RBP4. Detects a band of ~22-25 kDa by Western blot.

Characteristics: Polyclonal Antibody. Recognizes rat RBP4. Detects a band of ~22-25 kDa by Western blot. Source: Rabbit. Applications: ELISA, WB. Liquid. 0.2μm-filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4. Contains no preservatives. Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4, RBP) is a 21 kDa secreted protein, a member of the lipocalin family and is known as the primary transporter of retinol (vitamin A) to tissues. A recent report revealed RBP4 as an adipokine linking glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) suppression in adipose tissue to insulin. Elevated human and mouse serum RBP4 levels are associated with insulin resistance and its severity, obesity, and certain components of metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, human serum RBP4 levels are closely related to renal function.

Sterility: 0.2 μm filtered

Immunogen: Recombinant rat RBP4.
