Anti-c1qtnf6

Application

Anti-C1QTNF6 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

C1QTNF6 (C1q and tumor necrosis factor related protein 6) is mainly involved in the fatty acid metabolism. It stimulates the phosphorylation of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid oxidation in myocytes via the AMPK-ACC pathway. In addition, C1QTNF6 also facilitates the phosphorylation and activation of the 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in skeletal muscle cells. It has also been reported that interleukin-10 expression is stimulated by C1QTNF6 in macrophages thus proving the existence of an anti-inflammatory property in the protein.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
