Based on IP data and western blot results using lysates from cells overexpressing CART, this antibody appears to be specific to the precursor form of CART.\nSpecies Reactivity: Mouse\n\u003cb\u003eSource \/ Purification\u003c\/b\u003e\nMonoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to full-length human CART protein.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nCocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) peptides are neurotransmitters of 39 and 47 amino acids that are involved in a variety of physiological processes. The CART precursor, a polypeptide of 116 residues, requires prohormone\/proprotein convertase-mediated endoproteolytic cleavage to produce the two active peptides (1). CART peptides are found in several neuroendocrine tissues such as the brain, pituitary, adrenals, and pancreas (2). Hypothalamic CART is regulated by leptin, and plays a role in appetite and feeding behavior (3). Mesolimbic CART is regulated by CREB and may play a role in drug abuse behaviors by mediating some of CREB effects (4). Pancreatic CART is found in islet endocrine cells and parasympathetic and sensory nerves. It inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and has been found to be up-regulated in beta cells in animal model of diabetes (5). A missense mutation in the corresponding gene can correlate with susceptibility to obesity and reduced resting energy expenditure (6).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nCART; CART prepropeptide; CART(1-39); CART(42-89); CARTPT; cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript; Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript protein\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: M\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 15\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800247161001,"sku":"14547T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-14547t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
