Expression Region:

25-340aa

Subcellular Location:

Secreted

Tissue Specificity:

Predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and, at much lower levels, in other tissues, including lung, eye, smooth muscle, heart, brain and kidney. Within skeletal muscles, higher expression levels in soleus as compared with plantaris. Found in blood (at protein level). Following EPO treatment, only expressed in bone marrow and spleen (PubMed:24880340). Females tend to have higher circulating levels than males. Obese mice tend to have lower expression and circulating levels as compared to lean animals.

Purity:

Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Form:

Liquid or Lyophilized powder

Buffer:

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

Function:

Iron-regulatory hormone that acts as an erythroid regulator after hemorrhage

Involvement in disease:

Relevance:

Iron-regulatory hormone that acts as an erythroid regulator after hemorrhage: produced by erythroblasts following blood loss and mediates suppression of hepcidin (HAMP) expression in the liver, thereby promoting increased iron absorption and mobilization from stores (PubMed:24880340). Promotes lipid uptake into adipocytes and hepatocytes via transcriptional up-regulation of genes involved in fatty acid uptake

Reconstitution:

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Protein Families:

Adipolin/erythroferrone family
