    Specifications

  • Product Description
    Guinea Pig anti-Ghrelin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
  • Application(s) IHC-Frozen
  • Application Details IHC. A concentration of 1 in 3000 is recommended for IHC. IHC performed in sheep abomasum demonstrates intense staining of cells and terminals. No staining is evident when the primary antibody is pre-absorbed with 0.5 mg/mL of human ghrelin. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
  • Target Ghrelin
  • Specificity Specificity was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry. This antibody is known to react with sheep and human. Other species have not yet been tested.
  • Target Host Species Human
  • Species Reactivity Human, Sheep
  • Antibody Host Guinea Pig
  • Antibody Type Polyclonal
  • Antibody Isotype Mixed
  • Conjugate Unconjugated
  • Immunogen Description A synthetic peptide (GSSFLSPEHQRVQQRKESKKPPAKLQPR) corresponding to the amino acids 24-51 from human ghrelin. This peptide was conjugated to carrier protein to enhance the immunological response.
  • Purity Description Neat serum.
  • Format Lyophilized
  • Reconstitution Instructions Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 50 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
  • Storage Instructions Store lyophilized antibody at 2-8ºC or lower. After reconstitution, divide into aliquots and store at -20°C, or lower, for optimal long term stability. It is recommended that a reconstituted aliquot is stored at 2-8°C for no longer than 2 weeks. Allocation of an appropriate anti-bacterial agent can increase shelf life by several weeks. Glycerol (1:1) can be added to neat serum for additional stability if intended use does not prevent this.
  • Batch Number Please see item label.
  • Expiration Date

    12 months after date of receipt (lyophilized, unopened vial).

  • Alternative Names Appetite-regulating hormone; Growth hormone secretagogue; Growth hormone-releasing peptide; Motilin-related peptide; M46 protein
  • Uniprot Number Q9UBU3
  • Uniprot Number/Name Q9UBU3 (GHRL_HUMAN)
  • Scientific Background Ghrelin is the ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1 (GHSR) and upon binding to the receptor it induces the release of growth hormone from the pituitary. This ligand has an appetite-stimulating effect and is involved in growth regulation.
  • Shipping Temperature 25°C (ambient)
  • UNSPSC CODE 41116161
  • Regulatory Status For research use only.

    Images, Protocols & SDS

  • Paraffin-embedded sheep abomasum was incubated in guinea pig polyclonal antibodies to the human ghrelin protein at the dilution of 1:1000 overnight followed by incubation with biotinylated secondary antibodies. Cell bodies and nerve terminals in the sheep abomasum are intensely stained. This figure shows staining of cells when no pre-absorption is performed.
