LYRM1 (LYR Motif-containing Protein 1, A211C6.1)

LYRM1 was one of many genes identified through a suppression subtractive hybridization comparing their expression in omental adipose tissue of obese patients compared to non-obese individuals. Further study confirms that both mRNA and protein levels of LYRM1 are higher in obese individuals. LYRM1 is widely expressed, with highest levels occurring in adipose and liver tissues. It is thought that LYRM1 promotes preadipocyte proliferation and can inhibit apoptosis of preadipocytes. Ectopic LYRM1 expression did not significantly affect adipogenesis, suggesting that LYRM1 can influence adipose tissue homeostasis by modulating the size of the preadipocyte pool.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 1-2ug/ml\nImmunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 5ug/ml\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nPositive Control:\nHuman Liver Tissue Lysate\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
