Alpha Diagnostic International, Inc. Rat Urotensin 2 Control/blocking peptide # 1 UT21-P

Rat Urotensin 2 Control/blocking peptide # 1 General Information Urotensins are neuropeptide secreted from the urophysis in the caudal neurosecretory system of the fishes. Two bioactive Urotensins, U1 and UII have been cloned from various species including mammals. UI is 41 aa peptide, which showed prolonged hypotens 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 14-aa cyclic peptide from rat UII (1); Designation (#UT21-P, control or blocking peptide) conjugated to KLH; epitope location ~ C-terminus SpCrossreactivity The rat UT21-P control peptide sequence is 93% conserved in mouse, 77% in human, 66% in frog, and 53% in various fishes UII. No appreciable homology of U21-P is seen with other peptides. Antibody crossreactivity in various species is not established For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
