Several peptides associated with feeding behavior have been reported recently.
Orexins (Orexin-A and Orexin-B) are a family of hypothalamic neuropeptides selectively expressed in the hypothalamus (1).
Orexin-A and Orexin-B are derived from the same precursor (Prepro-orexin) by proteolytic cleavage.
Prepro-orexin is 130 amino acid long peptide with a putative 33 AA secretory sequence, a hydrophobic core followed by residues with small polar side chains.
The expression was detected in brain and to a small extent in testis (1).
These neuropeptides bind and activate two closely related Orexin receptors—G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) OX1R and OX2R.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA.
Western Blot, though not tested, may potentially be used as an application.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:ELISA: 1:10,000-1:100,000 Using 50-100ng of control peptide/well
Western Blot: 1:1000-1:5000 Optimal dilution determined by the researcher.
Control Peptide: O7501-10
Storage and Stability:Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol and store at -20°C.
Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
仕様
Size:100ul
Host:rabbit
Source Antibody:mouse
Grade:Serum
Purity:Neat serum
Form:Supplied as a lyophilized powder with 0.05% sodlium azide.
Specificity:Recognizes full-length (1-28aa) Orexin B. The epitope is not found in Orexin A. The appropriate control immunogenic peptides may be used to confirm specificity of antibodies. Since Orexins A and Orexin B are derived from an unprocessed pre-pro orexins (130aa), the anti-Orexin B antibodies may also react with prepro orexins. Species Crossreactivity: Mouse, rat and human. Species Sequence Homology: Mouse, porcine, bovine, canine, rat: 100%; Human: 92%
Isotype:IgG
Calc Applications Abbrev:E
Calc Crossreactivity:Hu
Immunogen:Synthetic peptide, 13aa, amino terminus of murine Orexin B (KLH coupled).
