| Unit size |
100 µg |
| Antigen |
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a region (1-14 aa) from the N-terminus of human Somatostatin. |
| Antigen Location |
1-14 aa |
| Other Names |
Growth hormone release-inhibiting factor; Somatostatin-282; Somatostatin-14; SST; |
| Accession |
P61278 SMS_HUMAN; |
| Produced in |
Rabbit |
| Applications |
Western Blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). A concentration of 1.0 µg/ml is recommended for WB. Human Somatostatin (precursor) has a predicted length of 116 amino acids and MW of 13 kDa. A concentration of 1.0 µg/ml is recommended for IHC to detect the protein in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval is required. A concentration of 1.0 µg/ml is also recommended for IHC in frozen tissue. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
| Specificity |
The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. |
| Antibody Against |
Somatostatin |
| Cross-reactivity |
Human (WB, IHC); rat (IHC); mouse (IHC); |
| Blast it |
If you wish to use this product in a species other than those specified here and want to determine the amino acid sequence homology between the immunogen and the corresponding protein in that species, simply copy the amino acid sequence for this immunogen and test it on the BLAST database that you can access through the link below. Please note that antibodies raised against synthetic peptides are quite often very specific for that peptide. What this means in practise is that a single amino acid difference may be enough to restrict the specificity to a particular molecule.
The BLAST database can also be used to compare any amino acid sequence between species and between proteins. The full amino acid sequence of the target protein can be found by following the link in the Accession field. You can then search any amino acid sequence in the target protein using the BLAST database. When selecting a sequence to search, please choose carefully, as the sequence you choose may be a precursor rather than the mature protein for example. |
