Alpha Diagnostic International, Inc. Rat Dopamine Transporter Control/blocking peptide # 1 DAT11-P

Rat Dopamine Transporter Control/blocking peptide # 1 General Information Dopamine is an endogenous catecholamine that influences many cellular activities, including behavior, hormone synthesis and release, blood pressure and intracellular ion transport. A family of at least 5 Dopamine Receptors (DR) genes, D1-D5, have been ide SugApplications Control or blocking peptides are recommended for ELISA plate coating for direct ELISA testing of antibodies or competitive ELISA, and antibody blocking or neutralization. SpeciesReactivity Rat Form Antigen/blocking Peptide Antigen 18aa peptide of rat DAT ; Designated (DAT11-P or control peptide /blocking peptide) conjugated to KLH. Epitope location ~ N-terminal, Cytoplasmic SpCrossreactivity The DAT11-P peptide sequence is 100% identical in mouse, 77% homologous with bovine, monkey, and 72% in human DAT sequences, respectively. The antibodies have been shown to strongly react with mouse and rat and weakly with human and dog Control peptide, because of its low mol. Wt (<3 kDa), is not suitable for Western. It should be used for ELISA or antibody blocking experiments (use 5-10 ug control peptide per 1 ug of aff pure IgG or 1 ul antiserum) to confirm antibody specificity (see detailed protocol at: the web site). For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
