Anti-Neuropeptide Y (NPY) Antibody

Neuropeptide Y is a 36 amino acid neurotransmitter found in the brain and autonomic nervous system. It has been associated with numerous physiologic processes in the brain, including the regulation of energy balance, memory and learning, and epilepsy. The main effect is increased food intake and decreased physical activity. It is also implicated in the secretion of gonadotrophin-release hormone. It is secreted by the hypothalamus and it is one of the most abundant peptides in the nervous system. It is also found in some chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. The sheep form of NPY is 94% homologous with human NPY.

Our Anti-Neuropeptide Y (NPY) rabbit polyclonal primary antibody detects human, mouse, rat, and sheep Neuropeptide Y (NPY), and is affinity-purified. It is validated for use in ELISA, WB.

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 50 μL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Pulse-centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. Maintain lyophilized material at 2-8°C for up to 12 months. After reconstitution keep aliquots at -20°C for up to six months or at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent for up to 4 weeks. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.
