Anti - Orexin 2 Receptor (Hypocretin 2 Receptor)

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.

Rat is 90% homologous with human OX2R. human OX2R22 immunogenic peptide is 89% homologous with the rat OX2 receptor. However, no significant homology is seen with OX1R or other G-protein-coupled receptors. Antibody reactivity in all species is not established. Control peptide, because of its low MW (<3kD), is not suitable for Western. It should be used for ELISA or antibody blocking It is recommed for ELISA, dot blot, or for antibody blocking experiments (use 5-10 ug of control peptide per 1 ug of aff pure IgG or 1 ul of antiserum) to demonstrate antibody specificity
