FTO antibody (pAb) tested by Western blot.
Detection of FTO by Western blot analysis (30 µg per lane). Lane 1: Nuclear extract of Caco-2 cells. Lane 2: Nuclear extract of HEK-293 cells. Both probed with FTO antibody (pAb) at a 1:500 dilution.

Background

FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) is a dioxygenase that repairs alkylated DNA and RNA by oxidative demethylation. This protein has high activity towards single-stranded RNA containing 3-methyluracil and single-stranded DNA containing 3-methylthymine. FTO has low demethylase activity towards single-stranded DNA containing 1-methyladenine or 3-methylcytosine and has no activity towards 1-methylguanine or double-stranded DNA. FTO contributes to the regulation of the global metabolic rate, energy expenditure, energy homeostasis, regulation of body size and body fat accumulation. FTO has recently been shown to have the highest activity towards demethylation of 6-methyladeninine in single-stranded RNA suggesting that FTO is involved in processing of nuclear RNAs and may play an important role in RNA epigenetics.
