Storage Instruction
If unopened the kit may be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. If the kit will not be used within 1 month, store the components separately, according to the component table in the manual.
This kit recognizes Human Beta-EP in samples. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human Beta-EP and analogues was observed.
Sample Type
Serum, plasma and other biological fluids
Additional Info
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.
