Introduction
Fasting-induced adipose factor (FIAF), also known as ANGPTL4, PGAR, or HFARP, is an adipocytokine that increases with fasting, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists, and hypoxia. In humans and mice, FIAF exists in both native and truncated forms within blood plasma. While truncated FIAF is primarily observed in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation, human white adipose tissue and SGBS adipocytes only produce the native form. Notably, the truncated form is produced in the human liver. Studies suggest that truncated FIAF (FIAF-S2) is the predominant form in human blood plasma, with levels increasing upon fenofibrate treatment. Despite significant individual variations, both FIAF forms exhibit no correlation with body mass index and remain unaffected by prolonged semi-starvation.
Description
The ANGPTL4 Human Recombinant protein, with a C-terminal 11 amino acid FLAG Tag, has a molecular weight of 44.2kDa. It consists of 392 amino acids from the Angiopoietin-like Protein 4 and an additional 11 amino acids forming the Flag Tag (underlined).
Physical Appearance
White, lyophilized powder that has been filtered.
Formulation
The product is filtered and lyophilized from a solution of 20mM Tris buffer and 50mM NaCl at pH 7.5, with a concentration of 0.5mg/ml.
Solubility
To achieve a working concentration of 0.5mg/ml, add pyrogen-free water to the lyophilized pellet and ensure complete dissolution. Note: This product is not sterile. Prior to cell culture use, filter the solution through an appropriate sterile filter.
Stability
Store the lyophilized Angiopoietin-like Protein 4 Human recombinant at -20°C. After reconstitution, aliquot the product to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. The reconstituted protein remains stable at 4°C for a limited period, showing no changes for up to two weeks.
Purity
The purity of the protein is determined to be greater than 90% using SDS-PAGE analysis.
Applications
This product is suitable for Western blotting applications.
