Quick Overview for Insulin antibody (ABIN111963)

Target: Insulin (INS)

Reactivity: Human, Pig, Cow

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Insulin antibody is un-conjugated

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

Clone: IN-05

Product Details anti-Insulin Antibody

Specificity: The antibody IN-05 is specific for Human insulin. It recognizes also porcine and bovine insulin. No cross-reactions were found with other serum proteins. The antibody can be used for the quantification of human insulin by RIA, and also for receptor-insulin interactions. In normal tissues, IN-05 reacts with normal pancreatic islet beta cells. In tumor tissues it stains insulin secreting neoplasms (insulinomas).

Purification: Affinity Chromatography.

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Suitable for Immunohistochemistry (IHC), RIA and Receptor Studies. Recommended Dilutions for IHC: Frozen sections: 0.2 μg/mL (1/1000)Paraffin sections: 0.2 μg/mL (1/1000). Pretreatment not necessary. Suggested positive control: Human pancreas.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for Insulin

Target: Insulin (INS)

Alternative Name: Insulin

Background: Insulin is one of the major regulatory hormones of intermediate metabolism throughout the body. The biological actions of this hormone involve integration of carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism. Insulin enhances membrane transport of glucose, amino acids, and certain ions. It also promotes glycogen storage, formation of triglycerides and synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. Immunocytochemical investigations have localized insulin in the B cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Deficiency of insulin results in diabetes mellitus, one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the general population. Insulin is also present in tumors of B cell origin such as insulinoma.Synonyms: INS
