The FTO Polyclonal Antibody (CAB1438) is a valuable tool for researchers studying FTO, a protein involved in the regulation of mRNA splicing and fat metabolism. This antibody, produced in rabbits, has high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding specifically to the FTO protein, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it ideal for investigations in the fields of molecular biology and metabolic research.
FTO, also known as fat mass and obesity associated protein, plays a crucial role in the regulation of energy metabolism and body weight. Its involvement in mRNA splicing suggests a potential role in gene expression regulation, making it a promising target for understanding diseases like obesity and metabolic disorders. Research on FTO can provide insights into the mechanisms underlying these conditions and potentially lead to the development of new therapeutic interventions.

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.
