Rabbit polyclonal anti Leu-Enkephalin; diluted antiserum

Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ELISA
• Recommended Dilution: This antibody has been tested and validated in ELISA against Leu- Enkephalin. Other applications like immunohistochemistry (IHC), FACS or Western Blot may work as well. Optimal dilutions should be determined by the end user.
• Reactivities: Human, Mammalian
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Synthetic peptide H-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-NH2 coupled to carrier protein.
• Formulation: Each vial contains enough antiserum for 500 RIA tubes. The powder should be rehydrated with 50ml RIA buffer. Upon reconstitution to 50ml total volume, the solution contains 0.1M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), 0.05M NaCl, 0.1% BSA, 0.01% NaN3, and 0.1% Triton X-100. Store at 4°C. This should ensure antibody stability for approximately one month.

• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Storage: Original vial: at least one year at 4° - 8°C from date of delivery. Minimize repeated thawing and freezing of the antiserum by freezing aliquots at -20°C or below.
• Gene Name: proenkephalin
• Database Link:
  Entrez Gene 5179 Human
  UniProt ID P01210
• Background: Leu-enkephalin is an endogenous opioid peptide neurotransmitter that is found naturally in the brains of many animals, including humans. It is one of the two forms of enkephalin; the other is met-enkephalin. The tyrosine residue at position 1 is thought to be analogous to the 3-hydroxyl group on morphine. Leu-enkephalin has agonistic actions at both the µ- and δ- opioid receptors, with significantly greater preference for the latter. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Leu-Enkephalin coupled to a carrier protein.
• Synonyms: preproenkephalin; proenkephalin
