Anti-LYR motif-containing protein 1 LYRM1 Antibody

LYRM1 was one of many genes identified through a suppression subtractive hybridization comparing their expression in omental adipose tissue of obese patients compared to non-obese individuals. Further study confirms that both mRNA and protein levels of LYRM1 are higher in obese individuals. LYRM1 is widely expressed, with highest levels occurring in adipose and liver tissues. It is thought that LYRM1 promotes preadipocyte proliferation and can inhibit apoptosis of preadipocytes. Ectopic LYRM1 expression did not significantly affect adipogenesis, suggesting that LYRM1 can influence adipose tissue homeostasis by modulating the size of the preadipocyte pool.

LYRM1 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the center of human LYRM1. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of LYRM1.

LYRM1 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
