ANTI-FNDC5

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Fibronectin type III domain containing 5 (FNDC5) is expressed in the muscles. Low levels of the mRNA are also present in the kidney, liver and lung. FNDC5 is cleaved and secreted as irisin, a hormone. The gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 1p35.1._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ fibronectin type III domain containing 5 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below._x000D_ Western Blotting (1 paper)_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Legal Information_x000D_ Prestige Antibodies is a registered trademark of Sigma-Aldrich Co.
