Quick Overview for CRH antibody (ABIN111808)

Target: CRH (Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CRH antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)

Clone: 4H9

Product Details anti-CRH Antibody

Specificity: This antibody is specific for corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF), a hormone found mainly in the hypothalamus that regulates the release of corticotrophin from the pituitary gland. The unique lysine residue (Lys-36) is likely to be involved in the antigenic determinant as lysine modification by CA blocks binding completely. Human serum, containing CRF-binding protein, also inhibits the binding of this antibody to CRF.Aff. Const.:10(e)-9 M with native and modified CRF

Purification: Affinity chromatography on Protein G

Immunogen: Corticotrophin Releasing Factor conjugated to Bovine Serum Albumin.

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunohistochemistry on Frozen sections. Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin sections: 1/100 - 1/7000, Microwave pretreatment isrequired. Enzyme digestion with 0.1 % trypsin may also be necessary. ELISA: This antibody is suitable for use in a sandwich ELISA with clone 5D5 (BM356).
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for CRH

Target: CRH (Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH))

Alternative Name: Corticoliberin

Background: CRF precursor is a 41-amino acid peptide derived from a 196-amino acid preprohormone. CRF is a neuroendocrine hormone secreted by the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus and is a key player in the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis. It is also synthesized in peripheral tissues, such as T lymphocytes and is highly expressed in the placenta. Neuronal CRF is important in a variety of diverse roles including, memory, depression, stress, kidney function, parturition, metabolism and feeding (to mention a few).Synonyms: CRF, CRH, Corticotropin-Releasing Factor, Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone
