Anti-Irisin polyclonal antibody

Invented by Abdo Alnabulsi
Invented at Vertebrate Antibodies Limited

Info

Catalogue Number 158056
Applications ELISA IHC WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Irisin
Reactivity Vertebrates
Relevance Irisin belongs to the class of adipomyokines since it acts both in adipose and muscle tissue (adipokine and myokine) and is a thermogenic protein that promotes energy expenditure by white adipose tissue (WAT) browning. Irisin is secreted from muscles in response to exercise and may mediate some beneficial effects of exercise in humans, such as weight loss and thermoregulation. Irisin is a cleavage protein of fibronectin type III domain 5 (FNDC5). FNDC5 converts to irisin after exercise. Irisin dissipates energy as heat and for this reason its discovery has generated a flurry of research aimed at understanding the mechanisms of energy metabolism. Irisin is expected to be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of obesity and its related conditions.

The antibody is a valuable research tool to study the mechanism of energy metabolism.
