Fto Antibody - N-terminal region : FITC (ARP47473_P050-FITC)

Fto is a dioxygenase that repairs alkylated DNA and RNA by oxidative demethylation. Fto has highest activity towards single-stranded RNA containing 3-methyluracil, followed by single-stranded DNA containing 3-methylthymine. Fto has low demethylase activity towards single-stranded DNA containing 1-methyladenine or 3-methylcytosine. Fto has no activity towards 1-methylguanine and no detectable activity towards double-stranded DNA. Fto requires molecular oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and iron. Fto contributes to the regulation of the global metabolic rate, energy expenditure and energy homeostasis. Fto contributes to the regulation of body size and body fat accumulation.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
