Immunogen
Synthesized peptide derived from human AGRP
Specificity
This antibody detects endogenous levels of Human AGRP
Source
Polyclonal, Rabbit,IgG
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
WB 1:1000-2000 ELISA 1:5000-20000
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit serum by affinity-chromatography using specific immunogen.
Background
disease:Defects in AGRP may be a cause of autosomal dominant obesity [MIM:601665].,domain:The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot' structurally defines this protein as a knottin.,function:Plays a role in weight homeostasis. May play a role in the regulation of melanocortin receptors within the hypothalamus and adrenal gland, and therefore in the central control of feeding.,similarity:Contains 1 agouti domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed primarily in the adrenal gland, subthalamic nucleus, and hypothalamus, with a lower level of expression occurring in testis, lung, and kidney.,
