Specification

• Source: Human cells
• Species: Mouse
• Preparation method: Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer with cocktail of protease inhibitors. Cell debris was removed by centrifugation and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. The cell lysate was boiled for 5 minutes in 1 x SDS sample buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 12.5% glycerol, 1% sodium dodecylsulfate, 0.01% bromophenol blue) containing 5% b-mercaptoethanol, and lyophilized.
• Lysis buffer: Modified RIPA Lysis Buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 1% Sodium deoxycholate, 1mM PMSF
• Quality control Testing: 12.5% SDS-PAGE Stained with Coomassie Blue
• Recommended Usage: 1. Centrifuge the tube for a few seconds and ensure the pellet at the bottom of the tube.2. Re-dissolve the pellet using 200μL pure water and boiled for 2-5 min.3. Store it at -80°C. Recommend to aliquot the cell lysate into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.Notes:The lysate is ready to load on SDS-PAGE for Western blot application. If dissociating conditions are required, add reducing agent prior to heating.
• Stability: Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -80°C
• Storage Buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 1% Sodium deoxycholate, 1mM PMSF
• Storage Instruction: Lysate samples are stable for 12 months from date of receipt when stored at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Prior to SDS-PAGE fractionation, boil the lysate for 5 minutes.

Q&As

How is FGF21 expression regulated in adipose tissue?

FGF21 expression in adipose tissue is regulated by various factors, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) activation.

What are the effects of FGF21 on lipid metabolism?

FGF21 influences lipid metabolism by promoting the utilization of fatty acids for energy, contributing to the regulation of lipid homeostasis.

Can FGF21 be a biomarker for metabolic health?

FGF21 levels are being explored as potential biomarkers for metabolic health, reflecting conditions such as insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Is FGF21 involved in the regulation of insulin sensitivity?

Yes, FGF21 plays a role in improving insulin sensitivity, making it a potential target for interventions in insulin resistance-associated conditions.

Does FGF21 have roles in energy expenditure?

Yes, FGF21 influences energy expenditure by promoting thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, contributing to overall metabolic regulation.

Are there gender-specific differences in FGF21 levels?

Gender-specific differences in FGF21 levels have been reported, with some studies suggesting higher circulating FGF21 concentrations in females.

What signaling pathways does FGF21 activate?

FGF21 activates signaling pathways such as the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, which contributes to its metabolic effects.
