Sheep Agouti Related Protein (AGRP) ELISA Kit | AGRP elisa kit
Sheep Agouti Related Protein (AGRP) ELISA Kit
Principles of the Assay: This kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The plate has been pre-coated with Sheep AGRP antibody. AGRP present in the sample is added and binds to antibodies coated on the wells. And then biotinylated Sheep AGRP Antibody is added and binds to AGRP in the sample. Then Streptavidin-HRP is added and binds to the Biotinylated AGRP antibody. After incubation unbound Streptavidin-HRP is washed away during a washing step. Substrate solution is then added and color develops in proportion to the amount of Sheep AGRP. The reaction is terminated by addition of acidic stop solution and absorbance is measured at 450 nm.
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, Dec 2009]
Uniprot Description
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.

Product Notes
The Sheep AGRP agrp (Catalog #AAA1602158) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA1602158 ELISA Kit recognizes Sheep AGRP. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Agouti Related Protein (AGRP), ELISA Kit" 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
