Gastrin polyclonal, anti-most mammals

Quantity: 100 µl

Background:
Gastrin is a hormone whose main function is to stimulate secretion of hydrochloric acid by the gastric mucosa, which results in gastrin formation inhibition. This hormone also acts as a mitogenic factor for gastrointestinal epithelial cells. Gastrin has two biologically active peptide forms, G34 and G17.

Synonyms:
GAS, GAST

Isotype: Rabbit Polyclonal

Immunogen:
Human gastrin 17 conjugated to BSA

Form: Serum containing 0.1% sodium azide

Specificity:
The antibody can be used for the diagnosis of gastrin-producing tumors which are mainly found in the pancreas and occasionally in the stomach and the duodenum.

Reactivity: Reacts with gastrin in most mammals

Applications: Immunohistochemistry of frozen and paraffin-embedded sections, no proteolytic treatment required, Immunocytochemistry

Working DIlution: 1:25 - 1:50 for immunohistochemistry, optimal dilution should be tested by serial dilution

Positive Control:
Antrum (antigen localization: cytoplasmic, extracellular)

Storage: 2-8C for immediate use, or at -20C (aliquot)
