Isotype
IgG1/l
Gene ID
51738
Clone Number

Epitope Specificity
Not determined. Probably includes residues 11 or 12 to account for the lower cross-reactivity with rat ghrelin.

Purification
Protein A/G purified (from culture supernatant)
Form
Liquid
Solvent
0.01 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 0.5 M NaCl and 15 mM sodium azide
Conjugation
Unconjugated BSA free
Storage
4-8ºC without exposure to light. No precautions necessary during handling.
Target
Ghrelin is an orexigenic (food intake stimulating) 27 or 28 amino-acid gut-brain peptide hormone produced by endocrine cells in the stomach, pancreatic islets and certain hypothalamic neurons. Two forms are produced by alternative mRNA splicing; Gln13 or 14 is missing from the second form. "Active" ghrelin is acylated (octanoylated) at Ser3; this form stimulates growth hormone secretion via GHS receptors and increases appetite. The des-acyl form does not have these effects but may have other actions. Plasma responses of total ghrelin to food may reflect those of active ghrelin.

Application

ELISA: ABS 050-45 binds human ghrelin in solution. ABS 050-45 (as a capture antibody) forms a pair with ABS 052-121 as a biotinylated detection antibody for measuring total human ghrelin by sandwich ELISA.

WB: ABS 050-45 can be used in Western blotting.
