Background: Agouti-related protein, also called Agouti-related peptide (AgRP), is a neuropeptide produced in the brain by the AgRP/NPY neuron. It is only synthesised in NPY-containing cell bodies located in the ventromedial part of the arcuate nucleus in the hypothalamus. In humans, the agouti-related peptide is encoded by the AGRP gene. AgRP is co-expressed with Neuropeptide Y and works by increasing appetite and decreasing metabolism and energy expenditure. It is one of the most potent and long-lasting of appetite stimulators.

Gene Name: AGRP

Production: Natural and recombinant human AGRP. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.

Standard: Expression system for standard: sf21, Immunogen sequence: A21-T132

Application Details

Application Notes:

Application Note: Useful in Sandwich ELISA for Quantitative Detection of Antigen. Aliquot 0.1 mL per well of the 500pg/mL, 250pg/mL, 125pg/mL, 62.5pg/mL, 31.3pg/mL, 15.6pg/mL, 7.8pg/mL human AGRP standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1 mL of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1 mL of each properly diluted sample of human cell culture supernates, serum, plasma(heparin, EDTA, citrate) or urine to each empty well. It is recommended that each human AGRP standard solution and each sample be measured in duplicate.
