Western blot - Anti-FGF21 antibody [EPR8314(2)] (AB171941)
False colour image of Western blot : Anti-FGF21 antibody [EPR8314(2)] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in black; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab171941 was shown to bind specifically to FGF21. A band was observed at 21 kDa in treated wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in FGF21 knockout cell line ab265974 (knockout cell lysate ab256915). To generate this image, wild-type and FGF21 knockout HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times before development and with high-sensitivity chemiluminescence substrate and imaged with 16 minutes exposure time. Secondary antibodies used were HRP conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit (H+L) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed at 1/20000 dilution.

Biological function summary
FGF21 influences glucose and lipid metabolism. It does not act as part of a larger protein complex. Instead it directly affects metabolic processes enhancing insulin sensitivity and lipid oxidation while reducing body weight. These actions help maintain energy balance and homeostasis making FGF21 an important player in metabolic control.
Pathways
FGF21 plays a significant role in the insulin signaling pathway and PPARγ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) pathway. These pathways regulate cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis respectively. FGF21 interacts with other molecules such as PPARα (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha) to exert its effects demonstrating its integration into broader metabolic networks. FGF21's interaction with these pathways highlights its function in energy utilization and storage.
