FTO (mouse, rec.) (His)

Mouse FTO (amino acids 2-502) is fused at the N-terminus to a His-tag. Liquid. 0.2µm-filtered solution in 55mM TRIS-Cl, pH 8.2, containing 150mM NaCl. FTO (Fat mass-and obesity-associated gene) is the responsible gene for mouse 'fused toes' mutation. An association between FTO genotype and type 2 diabetes has been confirmed. The presence of the FTO rs9939609 A-allele was found to be positively correlated with other symptoms of the metabolic syndrome, including higher fasting insulin, glucose, and triglycerides, and lower HDL-cholesterol.
