Alpha Diagnostic International, Inc. Rat/human Oxytocin Control/blocking peptide #1 OT15-P

Rat/human Oxytocin Control/blocking peptide #1 General Information The hypothalamic Oxytocin (OT) is a nine-amino acid peptide, which exerts multiple biological actions as a hormone and as neurotransmitter. OT stimulates uterine smooth muscle and mammary myoepithelial cell contraction, prostaglandin production by uterin 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/Human Form Antigen/blocking Peptide Antigen Rat OT is 9-aa hypothalamic peptide (1). Rat/Human OT sequence (CYI QNC PLG) designated (designated OT15-P, control peptide) (1) conjugated to KLH SpCrossreactivity The OT15-P peptide sequence is 100% conserved in mouse, rat, human, bovine, sheep and other species. Antibody crossreactivity in various species is not established For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
