Product Overview
Clone AEAA-6 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase FTO in human and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ICC/IF. The predicted molecular weight is 58.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 58 kDa.
FTO is an Fe2+/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase that removes methyl groups from RNA, notably N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and the cap-adjacent m6Am in mRNA. By changing RNA methylation it influences mRNA stability and gene expression. Common FTO variants are linked to body weight, and the protein is widely studied in obesity, energy balance and cancer.

Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human FTO.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human and rat. UniProt places alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase FTO in the nucleus, nucleus speckle and cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Ubiquitously expressed, with relatively high expression in adrenal glands and brain. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
