Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human ITLN1.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 43 kDa; calculated MW: 34962 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IF, IHC, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Intelectin-1; Intelectin-1. Intelectin-1, also known as omentin, is an intelectin encoded in humans by the ITLN1 gene. This gene is mapped to chromosome 1q21.3-q22 by genomic sequence analysis. It is expressed on multiple cell types and appears to participate in insulin signaling and microbe recognition. Intelectin-1 functions both as a receptor for bacterial arabinogalactans and for lactoferrin. Having conserved ligand binding site residues, both human and mouse intelectin-1 bind the exocyclic vicinal diol of carbohydrate ligands such as galactofuranose. Functional note: Has no effect on basal glucose uptake but enhances insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes. Increases AKT phosphorylation in the absence and presence of insulin. May play a role in the defense system against microorganisms. May specifically recognize carbohydrate chains of pathogens and bacterial components containing galactofuranosyl residues, in a calcium-dependent manner. May be involved in iron metabolism. . Reported localization: Cell membrane ; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor . Secreted . Enriched in lipid rafts. . Expression/tissue context: Highly expressed in omental adipose tissue where it is found in stromal vascular cells but not in fat cells but is barely detectable in subcutaneous adipose tissue (at protein level). Highly expressed in the small intestine. Also found in the heart, testis, colon, salivary gland, skeletal muscle, pancreas and thyroid and, to a lesser degree, in the uterus, spleen, prostate, lymph node and thymus. .
