The protein encoded by this gene is a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to form the secreted opioid peptides beta-neoendorphin, dynorphin, leu-enkephalin, rimorphin, and leumorphin.
These peptides are ligands for the kappa-type of opioid receptor.
Dynorphin is involved in modulating responses to several psychoactive substances, including cocaine.
Applications:Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Immunohistochemistry: 1:250 -1:1,000Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Protocol:The antibody was used on perfusion fixed tissue.
Perfusion: 1) calcium-free Tyrode’s solution, 2) paraformaldehyde-picric acid fixative, and 3) 10% sucrose in PBS as a cryo-protectant.
Desired tissues were dissected and stored overnight in 10% sucrose in PBS.
Slide-mounted tissue sections were processed for indirect immunofluorescence.
Slides were incubated with blocking buffer for 1 hour at room temperature.
Primary antiserum was diluted with blocking buffer to the appropriate working concentration.
Blocking buffer was removed and slides were incubated for 18-24 hours at 4°C with primary antiserum.
Slides were rinsed 3 times and then incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 hour at room temperature.
Slides were again rinsed 3 times and coverslipped.
Staining was examined using fluorescence microscopy.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Store at -20°C.
Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
