Target
Human peptide histidine-methionine (PHM) is a 27 amino acid peptide belonging to the glucagon-secretin family of peptide hormones. PHM is produced from the same prohormone as VIP, with which it shows considerable sequence homology. The VIP/PHM prohormone is produced by neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems, often together with acetylcholine. In some situations the effect of the peptides is to reinforce and prolong the effects of neurotransmitter release. Like VIP, PHM is a vasodilator and stimulator of intestinal fluid secretion. High plasma levels of PHM are diagnostic of the corresponding peptide-producing tumor (VIPoma), associated with the watery diarrhea-hypokalemia-achlorhydria syndrome.

Application

ELISA: ABS 020-03 binds free PHM in solution. An ELISA dilution guideline of 1/2000 applies to PHM coated directly at 2 μg/mL. For glutaraldehyde-linked PHM-ovalbumin (molar ratio 4:1) coated at 1 μg/mL the dilution is 1/30,000.

IHC: ABS 020-03 was used in IHC on a human appendix section.

IHC staining of human appendix section. Plasma of the veins stained strongly as well as ganglion cells of neuronal plexuses and neuronal axons. Dilution: 1:200
