Invitrogen™ Adiponectin Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ PA184881

Catalog No. PA184881

Description

Heat-mediated antigen retrieval using a sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) is recommended for the staining of paraffin sections. In Western blot, this antibody detects a band at ~26.4kDa in human HL60 cell lysates. A suggested positive control for PA1-84881 is rat brain. Rabbit anti Human adiponectin antibody recognizes an epitope within the C-terminal region (CT) of the 244 amino acid protein adiponectin (also known as Acrp30), a major adipokine secreted into the bloodstream from adipose tissue to modulate metabolism, including glucose regulation and fatty acid catabolism.

Adiponectin is a protein hormone secreted exclusively by adipocytes that regulates the metabolism of lipids and glucose. Adiponectin has been shown to play a role in various physiological processes including homeostasis and obesity. Decreased levels of adiponectin are associated with obese individuals as well as insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia (type 2 diabetes). In mice adiponectin has been shown to improve insulin signaling, thus ameliorating insulin resistance. Through activation of AMP kinase and PPAR-alpha, adiponectin can increase fatty acid transport, oxidation, and dissipation in skeletal muscle, leading to a reduction of intramyocellular lipid levels and thus improved insulin signaling.
