FNIP1 polyclonal antibody

This gene encodes a member of the folliculin-interacting protein family. The encoded protein binds to the tumor suppressor folliculin and to AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and be involved in cellular metabolism and nutrient sensing by regulating the AMPK-mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling pathway. A homologous binding partner of this protein, folliculin-interacting protein 2, has similar binding activities and may suggest functional redundancy within this protein family. Both folliculin-interacting proteins have also been shown to bind the molecular chaperone heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) and they may function as a co-chaperones in the stabilization of tumor suppressor folliculin which is a target of Hsp90 chaperone activity.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .
