The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-FTO antibody (ABIN7873222) specifically detects FTO in WB, ELISA, IF, IHC (p) and FACS.
The antibody is reactive with Human, Mouse and Rat samples.
Optimal dilution of the FTO antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Background
Fat mass and obesity-associated protein also known as alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase FTO is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FTO gene located on chromosome 16. This gene is a nuclear protein of the AlkB related non-haem iron and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase superfamily but the exact physiological function of this gene is not known. Other non-heme iron enzymes function to reverse alkylated DNA and RNA damage by oxidative demethylation. Studies in mice and humans indicate a role in nervous and cardiovascular systems and a strong association with body mass index, obesity risk, and type 2 diabetes.
