| PRDM16

PR domain containing 16, also known as PRDM16, is a protein which is encoded by the PRDM16 gene.PRDM16 acts as a transcription coregulator that controls the development of brown adipocytes in brown adipose tissue.Previously, this coregulator was believed to be present only in brown adipose tissue, but more recent studies have shown that PRDM16 is highly expressed in subcutaneous white adipose tissue as well.The protein is a zinc finger transcription factor.[6] PRDM16 controls the cell fate between muscle and brown fat cells. Loss of PRDM16 from brown fat precursors causes a loss of brown fat characteristics and promotes muscle differentiation.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (ng/mL)	10	5	2.5	1.25	0.625	0.312	0.156	0
OD	2.22	1.56	0.92	0.63	0.42	0.25	0.18	0.08
Corrected OD	2.14	1.48	0.84	0.55	0.34	0.17	0.1	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Human PRDM16 spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Tissue Homogenates(n=8)	84-101	96
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	96-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Human PRDM16 and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Tissue Homogenates(n=4)	Cell Culture Supernates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	98	108
