Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA
Recommend Dilution	This antibody has been tested and validated in ELISA against Ghrelin. Other applications like immunohistochemistry (IHC), FACS or Western Blot may work as well. Optimal dilutions should be determined by the end user.
Reactivity	Rat
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	Synthetic peptide H-Gly-Ser-Ser(octanoyl)-Phe-Leu-Ser-Pro-Glu-His- Gln-Arg-Val-Gln-Gln-Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser-Lys-Lys-Pro-Pro-Ala-Lys-Leu-Gln- Pro-Arg-OH coupled to carrier protein.
Formulation	Each vial contains enough antiserum for 500 RIA tubes. The powder should be rehydrated with 50ml RIA buffer. Upon reconstitution to 50ml total volume, the solution contains 0.1M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), 0.05M NaCl, 0.1% BSA, 0.01% NaN3, and 0.1% Triton X-100. Store at 4°C. This should ensure antibody stability for approximately one month.

Gene Name	ghrelin
Database Link	UniProt ID Q9EQX0
Background	Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid appetite stimulating peptide hormone secreted by enteroendocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract (P/D1-type cells in humans), especially the stomach, and circulates in the bloodstream during fasting conditions. It is known to prepare for food intake by increasing gastric motility and gastric acid secretion. Ghrelin has several functions including activation of cells in the anterior pituitary gland and hypothalamic arcuate nucleus that initiate appetite, stimulation of brain structures having a specific receptor – the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1A (GHSR-1A), and also participation in other regulations such as learning and memory, the sleep-wake cycle, taste sensation, reward behavior, and glucose metabolism. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Ghrelin coupled to a carrier protein.
