Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin embedded human hepatocellular carcinoma with purified ab126605 at a working dilution of 1 in 500. The secondary antibody used is a HRP polymer for rabbit IgG. The sample is counter-stained with hematoxylin. Antigen retrieval was perfomed using Tris-EDTA buffer, pH 9.0. PBS was used instead of the primary antibody as the negative control, and is shown in the inset.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab126605).

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-FTO antibody [EPR6894] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab126605 was shown to bind specifically to FTO. A band was observed at 58 kDa in wild-type MCF7 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in FTO knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and FTO knockout MCF7 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % 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 then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution. This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab126605).

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

The FTO protein also referred to as Alpha-Ketoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenase or Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated protein functions as an enzyme involved in demethylating nucleic acids specifically N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in RNA. This process impacts RNA stability and translation. FTO has a molecular weight of approximately 58 kDa. Higher expression levels of FTO are found in the brain including the hypothalamus which is an area known for regulating energy balance and appetite.
Biological function summary

FTO influences energy homeostasis and adipogenesis. It acts as an important player in metabolic regulation and gene expression by modulating the m6A RNA modification. While FTO operates largely on its own its demethylation activity may interact with other RNA binding proteins that recognize m6A-modified RNAs integrating it into larger regulatory frameworks for RNA metabolism and cellular responses.

Pathways

FTO is an important component in the regulation of energy balance and metabolism. The protein is closely associated with the mTOR signaling pathway which is essential for controlling cell growth proliferation and survival in response to nutrient availability. FTO also interacts with the leptin signaling pathway relating to its role in appetite regulation and energy expenditure.

FTO has significant connections to obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Genetic variants within the FTO gene correlate with risk for these conditions linking its enzymatic activity to alterations in energy balance and insulin sensitivity. FTO's role in Type 2 diabetes also highlights its interaction with insulin signaling proteins demonstrating its broader influence on glucose metabolism.

Target data

RNA demethylase that mediates oxidative demethylation of different RNA species, such as mRNAs, tRNAs and snRNAs, and acts as a regulator of fat mass, adipogenesis and energy homeostasis (PubMed : 22002720, PubMed : 25452335, PubMed : 26457839, PubMed : 26458103, PubMed : 28002401, PubMed : 30197295). Specifically demethylates N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA, the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes (PubMed : 22002720, PubMed : 25452335, PubMed : 26457839, PubMed : 26458103, PubMed : 30197295). M6A demethylation by FTO affects mRNA expression and stability (PubMed : 30197295). Also able to demethylate m6A in U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) (PubMed : 30197295). Mediates demethylation of N(6),2'-O-dimethyladenosine cap (m6A(m)), by demethylating the N(6)-methyladenosine at the second transcribed position of mRNAs and U6 snRNA (PubMed : 28002401, PubMed : 30197295). Demethylation of m6A(m) in the 5'-cap by FTO affects mRNA stability by promoting susceptibility to decapping (PubMed : 28002401). Also acts as a tRNA demethylase by removing N(1)-methyladenine from various tRNAs (PubMed : 30197295). Has no activity towards 1-methylguanine (PubMed : 20376003). Has no detectable activity towards double-stranded DNA (PubMed : 20376003). Also able to repair alkylated DNA and RNA by oxidative demethylation : demethylates single-stranded RNA containing 3-methyluracil, single-stranded DNA containing 3-methylthymine and has low demethylase activity towards single-stranded DNA containing 1-methyladenine or 3-methylcytosine (PubMed : 18775698, PubMed : 20376003). Ability to repair alkylated DNA and RNA is however unsure in vivo (PubMed : 18775698, PubMed : 20376003). Involved in the regulation of fat mass, adipogenesis and body weight, thereby contributing to the regulation of body size and body fat accumulation (PubMed : 18775698, PubMed : 20376003). Involved in the regulation of thermogenesis and the control of adipocyte differentiation into brown or white fat cells (PubMed : 26287746). Regulates activity of the dopaminergic midbrain circuitry via its ability to demethylate m6A in mRNAs (By similarity). Plays an oncogenic role in a number of acute myeloid leukemias by enhancing leukemic oncogene-mediated cell transformation : acts by mediating m6A demethylation of target transcripts such as MYC, CEBPA, ASB2 and RARA, leading to promote their expression (PubMed : 28017614, PubMed : 29249359).
