Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (92%), Rat (92%).
This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-64257. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
The TM6SF2 gene encodes transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2, a protein implicated in lipid metabolism and liver function. TM6SF2 is predominantly expressed in the liver and plays a crucial role in the regulation of lipid homeostasis, affecting the secretion of triglycerides and cholesterol. Genetic variations in TM6SF2, particularly the E167K polymorphism, have been associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular diseases. This variant influences lipid metabolism by altering the balance between lipid storage and secretion, contributing to hepatic steatosis and the progression of liver disease. Additionally, TM6SF2 mutations impact the risk of atherosclerosis due to their effects on lipid profiles, highlighting its significance in metabolic diseases. Research into TM6SF2 continues to uncover its roles in regulating lipid transport and metabolism, making it a potential target for therapeutic strategies addressing liver and cardiovascular health.
