Betatrophin antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. At least three isoforms of Betatrophin are known to exist, this antibody will detect the two largest isoforms.
Purification
Betatrophin antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
Betatrophin antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human Betatrophin. The immunogen is located within amino acids 40 - 90 of Betatrophin.
Betatrophin antibody can be used for detection of Betatrophin by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for Immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in rat samples, Immunohistochemistry in mouse and rat samples and Immunofluorescence in rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

The Betatrophin protein, also known as the hepatocellular carcinoma-associated protein TD26, is an adipocyte- and liver-enriched insulin targeted gene that is thought to play a role in lipid metabolism be regulating serum triglyceride levels (1,2). Betatrophin is closely related to the angiopoietin-like (ANGPTL) protein family. Betatrophin mRNA increases in the cold environment and after treatment with a high-fat diet, while its mRNA levels decrease in response to fasting, suggesting that it may play a role in mediating thermogenesis and energy homeostasis (3).
