Western Blot (WB)
(Western blot analysis of Angiotensinogen expression in mouse liver extract (lane 1), mouse spleen extract (lane 2), mouse testis extract (lane 3) and mouse kidney extract (lane 4). Angiotensinogen at 56KD was detected using rabbit anti- Angiotensinogen Antigen Affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 0.5ug/mL. The blot was developed using chemiluminescence (ECL) method. )
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(Angiotensinogen was detected in paraffin-embedded sections of mouse kidney tissues using rabbit anti- Angiotensinogen Antigen Affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 1ug/mL. The immunohistochemical section was developed using SABC method. )
Background: AGT(ANGIOTENSINOGEN), also called SERPINA8, is an alpha-2-globulin that is produced constitutively and released into the circulation mainly by the liver. ATG is a member of the serpin family, although it is not known to inhibit other enzymes, unlike most serpins. Angiotensinogen is also known as renin substrate. The AGT gene is mapped on 1q42.2. And the human angiotensinogen gene contains 5 exons. The expression of AGT and enzymes required for its conversion to angiotensin II in human adipose tissue. Mutations in this AGT gene are associated with susceptibility to essential hypertension, and can cause renal tubular dysgenesis, a severe disorder of renal tubular development. Defects in this gene have also been associated with non-familial structural atrial fibrillation, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Uniprot Description
angiotensin: Essential component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), a potent regulator of blood pressure, body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. In response to lowered blood pressure, the enzyme renin cleaves angiotensinogen to produce angiotensin-1 (angiotensin 1-10). Angiotensin-1 is a substrate of ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) that removes a dipeptide to yield the physiologically active peptide angiotensin-2 (angiotensin 1- 8). Angiotensin-1 and angiotensin-2 can be further processed to generate angiotensin-3 (angiotensin 2-8), angiotensin-4 (angiotensin 3-8). Angiotensin 1-7 is cleaved from angiotensin-2 by ACE2 or from angiotensin-1 by MME (neprilysin). Angiotensin 1-9 is cleaved from angiotensin-1 by ACE2. Genetic variations in AGT are a cause of susceptibility to essential hypertension (EHT). Essential hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure is consistently higher than normal with no identifiable cause. Defects in AGT are a cause of renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD). RTD is an autosomal recessive severe disorder of renal tubular development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype). Belongs to the serpin family.

Product Notes
The AGT agt (Catalog #AAA178661) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Angiotensinogen Antibody reacts with Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Angiotensinogen can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Paraffin. Western Blot: 0.1-0.5ug/ml Immunohistochemistry(IHC) Paraffin: 0.5-1ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AGT agt 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 "Angiotensinogen, 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
