Peptides belonging to the AKH/ RPCH family are produced in cells of either the corpora cardiaca (CC) of insects or of the X-organ cells in the eyestalks of decapod crustaceans.
The adipokinetic hormon I (AKH I) (also named neuro-hormone D; Baumann and Penzlin, 1984) regulate energy homeostasis in insects.
The hormone mobilizes energy reserves from storage particular from fat body.
There is enough evidence to show that AKH regulates the balance of carbohydrate and lipid oxidation in flight muscles.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA and Immunocytochemistry.
Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

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.
仕様
Size：100ul
Host：rabbit
Grade：Serum
Purity：Serum
Form：Supplied as a liquid in 50% glycerol
Specificity：Recognizes Adipokinetic Hormone I. No cross-reactivity with insect neuropeptides Allatostatin, Corazonin, CCAP, FMR Famide, Leucomyosuppressin, Locusta-Tachykinin 2, Perisulfakinin, and Proctolin tested by non-competitive ELISA. Immunocytochemical methods of the ventral nerve cords of Periplaneta americana revealed a specific distribution of AKH-immuno-reactivity exclusively in endocrine cells of the corpus cardiacum but not seen in brain or other ganglia. Not synthesized in ventral nerve cords of insects.
