| Storage Instruction: | Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 50 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. Store lyophilized antibody at 2-8°C or lower. After reconstitution, divide into aliquots and store at-20°C, or low |
| Gene Symbol: | POMC |
| Gene ID: | 5443 |
| Uniprot ID: | COLI_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: | POMC |
| Specificity: | Human. Specificity was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry. This antiserum is known to react with sheep gamma MSH. Other species have not yet been tested. |
| Immunogen: | A synthetic peptide (YVMGHFRWDRFG) corresponding to the amino acids 77-88 from human Proopiomelanocortin (POMC). POMC is the precursor of the melanocortin peptides alpha, beta and gamma. The synthetic peptide was conjugated to carrier protein to enha |
| Immunogen Sequence: | Human |
| Tissue Specificity | ACTH and MSH are produced by the pituitary gland. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides. O-glycosylated.reducing sugar is probably N-acetylgalactosamine. |
| Function | Corticotropin: Stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone alpha: Anorexigenic peptide. Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone beta: Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. Beta-endorphin: Endogenous orexigenic opiate. Met-enkephalin: Endogenous opiate. |
