Anti - Hepcidin, pro (Pro Hepc, LEAP, Hepatic Bactericidal Protein, Liver Expressed Antimicrobial Peptide)

May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20 °C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 °C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

The mouse sequences is 91% conserved in rat and 63% in human pro-HEPC. This sequence is removed from the mature 20-25 secreted forms of HEPC. So antibodies will not react with the secreted forms of HEPC. Full length, human 25-aa and 20-aa HEPC and mouse 25-aa HEPC are also available for various studies.
