Application

Rabbit Anti-AEBP1 antibody can be used for immunohistochemical assays at concentration of 4-8µg/ml. It can also be used for western blot (0.2-5.0µg/ml) applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The adipocyte enhancer binding protein 1 (AEBP1) is a transcriptional repressor with carboxypeptidase (CP) activity. This protein binds to a regulatory sequence, adipocyte enhancer 1 (AE-1), located in the proximal promoter region of the adipose P2 (aP2) gene, which encodes the adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein. It is characterized as a member of the regulatory B-like CP family. This protein seems to be activated by a novel mechanism, whereby the direct binding of DNA enhances its protease activity. AEBP1 may play a role in differentiated vascular smooth muscle cells.

General description

AEBP1 is a transcriptional repressor that negatively regulates PTEN. This transcription factor is involved in adipocyte growth and is a sex-specific risk factor for diet-induced obesity. Furthermore, AEBP1 is also known to have proinflammatory roles in macrophages.Rabbit Anti-AEBP1 antibody recognizes human, mouse, rat, and pig AEBP1.
