Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects N-acetyltaurine hydrolase (gene PTER) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 39.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 39 kDa.
PTER is a hydrolase that breaks N-acetyltaurine down into taurine and acetate. Studies in mice indicate that it controls N-acetyltaurine levels, a metabolite that suppresses food intake through GDF15 and its receptor GFRAL, linking PTER to feeding behavior and body weight research.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat kidney tissue, mouse kidney tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human PTER fragment (Met1–His315), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places N-acetyltaurine hydrolase in the cytoplasm. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
