Related Product Information for anti-FIAF antibody
Background: Adipose tissue is an energy reserve in animals. Adipose cells produce and secrete numerous physiologically important proteins that help regulate whole body metabolism, such as adiponectin leptin. Fasting causes significant changes in nutrient metabolism and many of these changes are controlled by transcription factors that regulate rate-limiting enzymes. An important transcription factor that mediates metabolic processes induced by fasting is peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha). PPAR alpha has recently been reported to target a novel gene encoding the secreted protein FIAF (fasting-induced adipose factor). FIAF is expressed predominantly in adipose tissue and is strongly upregulated in white adipose tissue and the liver under fasting conditions. Initial studies smuggest that FIAF represents a novel endocrine signal helping to regulate metabolism, especially under fasting conditions.

Uniprot Description

ANGPTL4: Protein with hypoxia-induced expression in endothelial cells. May act as a regulator of angiogenesis and modulate tumorigenesis. Inhibits proliferation, migration, and tubule formation of endothelial cells and reduces vascular leakage. May exert a protective function on endothelial cells through an endocrine action. It is directly involved in regulating glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism, and insulin sensitivity. In response to hypoxia, the unprocessed form of the protein accumulates in the subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM). The matrix-associated and immobilized unprocessed form limits the formation of actin stress fibers and focal contacts in the adhering endothelial cells and inhibits their adhesion. It also decreases motility of endothelial cells and inhibits the sprouting and tube formation.

Product Notes

The FIAF angptl4 (Catalog #AAA840257) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The FIAF Antibody reacts with Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's FIAF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western blotting (0.5-4 ug/ml). It recognizes ~50 kDa FIAF from samples of mouse and rat origins. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the FIAF angptl4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "FIAF, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
