CST, 77100SF, Neuropeptide Y (D7Y5A) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying NPY. Validated for WB,IHC,IF,IF. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Neuropeptide Y (D7Y5A) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #77100) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier free version of product #11976. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN, or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier-free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Formulation Supplied in 1X PBS, BSA and Azide Free. For standard formulation of this product see product # 11976 . Storage Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance. Specificity / Sensitivity Neuropeptide Y (D7Y5A) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of precursor (11 kDa) and mature (4 kDa) neuropeptide Y. This antibody does not cross-react with peptide YY or peptide YY (3-36) peptides. This antibody may cross-react with a protein of unknown origin at 80 kDa in some cell lines. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human mature neuropeptide Y. Background Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino acid peptide that belongs to the pancreatic polypeptide (PP) family, which also includes peptide YY (PYY) (1). The mature 36-residue NPY is produced from a larger pre-pro 97-residue NPY precursor through a series of cleavage reactions at dibasic sites and C-terminal amidation of the peptide product (2). NPY is widely expressed in the central nervous system (3) and exerts its action through stimulation of 5 different receptors (Y1-Y5) that belong to the G protein-coupled receptor family (4). NPY in the hypothalamus exhibits orexigenic activity through activation of Y1 and Y5 receptors (5). NPY is involved in the control of bone homeostasis, through the regulation of osteoblast activity by Y1 and Y2 receptors (6), and the regulation of testosterone secretion by activating Y1 receptor in testicular vessels (7). Research studies suggest that modulation of NPY activity and signaling represents a potential strategy for the development of appetite control and antiobesity agents (8).
