Target data

Function

Catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate in the presence of divalent cations, acting as a rate-limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis. Plays a role in regulating glucose sensing and insulin secretion of pancreatic beta-cells. Appears to modulate glycerol gluconeogenesis in liver. Important regulator of appetite and adiposity; increased expression of the protein in liver after nutrient excess increases circulating satiety hormones and reduces appetite-stimulating neuropeptides and thus seems to provide a feedback mechanism to limit weight gain.

Notes

ab240944 is the carrier-free version of Anti-FBP1 antibody [EPR4620] ab109732.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

FBP1 also known as fructose-16-bisphosphatase 1 is an enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 37 kDa. It plays a mechanical role in catalyzing the conversion of fructose-16-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate in the gluconeogenesis pathway. This enzyme expresses primarily in the liver but also in kidneys and muscles reflecting its key role in glucose metabolism.

Biological function summary

The function of FBP1 involves maintaining glucose homeostasis which is essential for energy balance. FBP1 is part of the gluconeogenesis pathway a process that synthesizes glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. This enzyme acts independently and does not usually form part of larger protein complexes but its activity significantly impacts liver metabolism and energy production in low-glucose conditions.

Pathways

FBP1 finds its primary involvement in the gluconeogenesis pathway. This roles complements those of other enzymes such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase which also contribute to glucose synthesis. FBP1's activity supports glucose production providing glucose for bloodstream circulation when dietary intake is low.

Associated diseases and disorders

FBP1's function directly relates to conditions such as fructose 16-bisphosphatase deficiency and has implications in type 2 diabetes. Deficient FBP1 can lead to life-threatening hypoglycemia demonstrating the need for energy regulation by this enzyme. Its regulation intersects with insulin signaling pathways with proteins like insulin receptor substrate (IRS) playing roles in modulating its activity in metabolic disorders.
