Goat anti-Human AgRP Polyclonal Antibody | anti-AGRP antibody
AgRP (Agouti Related Protein, ART, AGRT, ASIP2, Agouti-related transcript) (Biotin)
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Dilution: ELISA: Can be used as a detection antibody in a human AgRP ELISA in combination with the monoclonal capture antibody (Catalog# A1059-62G). Using plates coated with 100ul/well of the capture antibody, in combination with 100ul/well of the detection antibody at 50ng/ml, an ELISA for sample volumes of 100ul can be obtained. To arrive at the optimal dose range for
this ELISA, set up a two-fold dilution series of the protein standard stAgRPing with 4ng/ml.
Western Blot: 0.1-0.2ug/ml. The detection limit for rhAgRP is approximately 1ng/lane under non-reducing and reducing conditions.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes an antagonist of the melanocortin-3 and melanocortin-4 receptor. It appears to regulate hypothalamic control of feeding behavior via melanocortin receptor and/or intracellular calcium regulation, and thus plays a role in weight homeostasis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with late on-set obesity. [provided by RefSeq]
Uniprot Description
AGRP: Plays a role in weight homeostasis. Involved in the control of feeding behavior through the central melanocortin system. Acts as alpha melanocyte-stimulating hormone antagonist by inhibiting cAMP production mediated by stimulation of melanocortin receptors within the hypothalamus and adrenal gland. Has very low activity with MC5R. Is an inverse agonist for MC3R and MC4R being able to suppress their constitutive activity. It promotes MC3R and MC4R endocytosis in an arrestin-dependent manner. Genetic variations in AGRP may be a cause of obesity (OBESITY). It is a condition characterized by an increase of body weight beyond the limitation of skeletal and physical requirements, as the result of excessive accumulation of body fat.

Product Notes
The AGRP agrp (Catalog #AAA623248) is an Antibody produced from Goat and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AgRP (Agouti Related Protein, ART, AGRT, ASIP2, Agouti-related transcript) (Biotin) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's AgRP can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EL/EIA), Western Blot (WB). Suitable for use in Western Blot. Dilution: ELISA: Can be used as a detection antibody in a human AgRP ELISA in combination with the monoclonal capture antibody (Catalog# A1059-62G). Using plates coated with 100ul/well of the capture antibody, in combination with 100ul/well of the detection antibody at 50ng/ml, an ELISA for sample volumes of 100ul can be obtained. To arrive at the optimal dose range for this ELISA, set up a two-fold dilution series of the protein standard stAgRPing with 4ng/ml. Western Blot: 0.1-0.2ug/ml. The detection limit for rhAgRP is approximately 1ng/lane under non-reducing and reducing conditions. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AGRP agrp for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "AgRP, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
