Anti-CIDEC Antibody

This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal IgG antibody targets CIDEC (Cell Death-Inducing DFFA-Like Effector C), a lipid droplet-associated protein also referred to as FSP27 in adipose biology literature. Produced in rabbit and validated specifically for Western blot (WB) workflows, the reagent is supplied as 200 µl of polyclonal antiserum in a single vial, with reactivity confirmed against human samples. The unconjugated format allows researchers to pair the antibody with their own choice of secondary label for downstream detection. CIDEC is best known for its role in adipocyte metabolism: it localizes to the surface of intracellular lipid droplets and promotes triglyceride accumulation by mediating a lipid-exchange process that drives lipid droplet growth and unilocular lipid droplet formation in mature adipocytes. The protein has been linked in published studies to metabolic conditions, including familial partial lipodystrophy, making anti-CIDEC reagents useful in research on adipose tissue differentiation, obesity, and insulin resistance. Aliquot upon receipt and store at -20°C to preserve antibody activity; protect from light and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. For research use only; not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
