AgRP Antibody (PA1-18414) in IHC (P)
Immunohistochemistry was performed on 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse brain tissue sections. To expose target antigens, tissues were treated with 15 µg/mL Proteinase K in PBS containing 0.01% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes. Tissues were blocked for 1 hour and probed with an Agouti Related Protein polyclonal antibody (Product # PA1-18414) at a dilution of 1:200 overnight at 4°C. Tissues were wa... View More

Product Specific Information
Reconstitute in 50 µL sterile water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. Store lyophilized antibody at 2-8 °C. It is recommended that a thawed sample is stored at 4 °C for no longer than 2 weeks. Allocation of appropriate anti-bacterial agent can increase shelf life by several weeks. Diluted serum should be prepared as required. Long term stability requires storage, preferably in small aliquots at -20 °C or lower. Glycerol (1:1) can be added to neat serum for additional stability if intended use does not prevent this.
Target Information
Agouti-related protein (AgRP), also called agouti-related peptide, is a neuropeptide produced in the brain by the AgRP/NPY neuron. In humans, the agouti-related peptide is encoded by the AGRP gene. 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.
