AHP1900 specifically recognises an epitope within the N-terminal (NT) region of Adiponectin Receptor protein 2 (AdipoR2), a transmembrane protein and member of the ADIPOR family, expressed mainly in the liver and skeletal muscle, which acts a receptor for both globular and full-length adiponectin.
AdipoR2 acts as a mediator of fatty acid oxidation, glucose uptake by adiponectin and increased AMPK, PPARalpha ligand activity, thereby playing an important role in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, and in oxidative stress.
AHP1900 is reported as suitable for use in immunocytochemistry on acetone fixed cells.

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Storage
Store at -20oC only.
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 human AdipoR2 (NT) was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
