半岛bd体育手机客户端 说明
一般描述
Urocortin (UCN) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 2p21–23. The encoded protein belongs to the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) family. UCN is a 40 amino acid long peptide. It is widely expressed in the heart, lung, skin and immune cells.
Urocortin (UCN) is a neuropeptide, widely distributed in the central nervous system (CNS). Urocortin is derived from a larger precursor protein (pro-urocortin, also named corticotensin).
特异性
The antibody is evaluated for activity and specificity by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunohistochemistry. The antibody does not cross-react with human or rat CRF (6-33), sheep CRF, PACAP38, human ACTH, human ACTH (18-39), and sauvagine.
免疫原
synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal of human urocortin (amino acids 25-40 with N-terminally added lysine) conjugated to KLH. The immunogen sequence (human) corresponds to pro-urocortin (amino acids 105-120) and is identical in rat urocortin.
应用
Anti-urocortin antibody produced in rabbit has been used to evaluate the entry of urocortin peptide into the brain.
Anti-Urocortin antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
生化/生理作用
Urocortin has biological actions like corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) such as autonomic and behavioral responses in mammalian species. It is a potent stimulator of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion by corticotroph cells from the anterior pituitaryin vitroandin vivo. In the central nervous system (CNS), urocortin acts to produce potent anxiogenic-like and appetite suppressing effects and peripherally has hypotensive effects.
Urocortin (UCN) plays a vital role in inhibiting transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) oncogenic signaling pathway. The encoded protein is implicated in systemic and peripheral stress-response systems. Mutations in UCN gene might increase the risk of susceptibility to obesity.
