Anti-Beta Lipotropin (Beta-LPH) Antibody

Our Anti-Beta Lipotropin (Beta-LPH) rabbit polyclonal primary antibody detects human, mouse, and rat Beta Lipotropin (Beta-LPH), and is affinity-purified. It is validated for use in ICC, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded.

Product Specifications

Background

Human beta-Lipotropin is a 93 amino acid polypeptide that is cleaved from carboxy-terminal fragment of the precursor pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) . It stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin, and can also be cleaved into smaller peptides including opioid peptides: gamma-lipotropin, alpha-MSH, beta-MSH, gamma-MSH, alpha-endorphin, beta-endorphin, gamma-endorphin and met-enkephalin

Unconjugated

Applications

ICC, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded

Lyophilized with BSA.

Precautions

For research use only.

Shipping Conditions

25°C (ambient)

Storage Conditions

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 0.05 mL of sterile-filtered PBS (pH 7.4) . Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. At least 12 months after purchase at 2-8°C (lyophilized formulations) . After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C for a higher stability and at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent.Avoid freeze-thaw cycles

IHC Dilution

5-15 μg/mL

Specificity

Human; mouse; rat. Beta-Lipotropin is highly conserved so cross-reactivity with other species is expected. Cross-reactivity with other opioid peptides is as follows: with Leu-enkephalin 0.01%; with Met-Enkephalin 0.01%; with beta-endorphin 0.01%.
