Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ C1q and TNF (Tumour necrosis factor) related protein 6 (CTRP6/C1QTNF6) is a glycoprotein which belongs to family of proteins containing TNF alpha-like globular domain. CTRP6 is a single peptide with a short variable region, a collagen like region, and a C-terminal globular domain. CTRP6 is expressed in human synoviocytes. In human chromosome, the gene is localized on 22q12.3._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ CTRP6 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid peptide from near the carboxy-terminus of human CTRP6._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Supplied in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ C1q and TNF (Tumour necrosis factor) related protein 6 (CTRP6) plays a major role in fatty acid metabolism. CTRP6 phosphorylates AMCK (5′-AMP (adenosine monophosphate)-activated protein kinase) and ACC (acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase) and activates AMCK-ACC pathway. The expression level of CTRP6 is increased in rheumatoid arthritis. CTRP6 inhibits alternative complement pathway and helps in maintaining pregnancy. CTRP6 mediates the ectopic lipogenesis in myoblasts through AdipoR1/Erk/PPARγ (Adiponectin receptor 1/Extracellular signal-regulated kinases/Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) signalling pathway. CTRP6 is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma and stimulates angiogenesis by Akt (serine/threonine-protein kinase) pathway. CTRP6 confers susceptibility to type I diabetes. CTRP6 maybe a key regulator connecting obesity with tissue inflammation and insulin resistance._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind.
