Additional Information

Alternative name Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP)
Isotype IgG2a  (Matching secondary antibodies)
Description Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide [CGRP] is a 37 amino acid peptide and is the most potent endogenous vasodilator currently known (Brain et al.,1985). CGRP is primarily produced in nervous tissue, however, its receptors are expressed throughout the body. CGRP is also strongly implicated in the vasodilatory effect of endogenous cannabinoid anandamide in the brain. This effect was found to be antagonized by capsazepine. CGRP is also currently a major target of research in regards to factors effecting the onset of migraine headaches (Edvinsson L., 2003). CGRP antibodies have been used successfully in immunoneutralization (Wong et al., 1993)
Specificity Specific for Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide. Also recognizes rat beta-CGRP and human alpha-CGRP (10-fold less sensitivity compared to rat alpha-CGRP). Suggested positive controls are dorsal root ganglia, pancreas and gut. Notes: This antibody is an excellent tool for immunohistochemistry and for multiple labeling immunofluorescence of peripheral tissue like stomach, intestine, pancreas, sensory ganglia, and all the regions of the body that are innervated by primary afferent neurons as well as central nervous tissue. It is expected that the antibody will react with most mammals.
