These proteins are often highly modified post-translationally and migrate in SDS-PAGE at positions other than their predicted size.
Purification
CTRP4 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
CTRP4 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the center of human CTRP4. The immunogen is located within amino acids 90 - 140 of CTRP4.
CTRP4 antibody can be used for the detection of CTRP4 by Western blot at 1 - 4 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 10 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.

Background
CTRP4 Antibody: Adipose tissue of an organism plays a major role in regulating physiologic and pathologic processes such as metabolism and immunity by producing and secreting a variety of bioactive molecules termed adipokines. One highly conserved family of adipokines is adiponectin/ACRP30 and its structural and functional paralogs, the C1q/tumor necrosis factor-alpha-related proteins (CTRPs) 1-7. Unlike adiponectin, which is expressed exclusively by differentiated adipocytes, the CTRPs are expressed in a wide variety of tissues. These proteins are thought to act mainly on liver and muscle tissue to control glucose and lipid metabolism. An analysis of the crystal structure of adiponectin revealed a structural and evolutionary link between TNF and C1q-containing proteins, suggesting that these proteins arose from a common ancestral innate immunity gene. Multiple isoforms of mouse CTRP4 have been reported.
