AHP1668 specifically recognises an epitope within the N-terminal (NT) region of human Beta-3 adrenergic receptor, otherwise known as ADRB3. ADRB3 is a transmembrane protein and member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family primarily expressed by adipose tissue, which acts as a regulator of lipolysis and heat production (thermogenesis).
The ADRB3 variant Arg-64 has been identified as a possible candidate gene linked with obesity, and to an increased susceptibility to non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).

Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to ADRB3 (NT) was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
