Neurokinin A/Substance K polyclonal, anti-human, rat, pig, fish

Quantity: 50 µl

Background:
This gene encodes four products of the tachykinin peptide hormone family, substance P and neurokinin A, as well as the related peptides, neuropeptide K and neuropeptide gamma. These hormones are thought to function as neurotransmitters which interact with nerve receptors and smooth muscle cells. They are known to induce behavioral responses and function as vasodilators and secretagogues. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Synonyms:
NK2, NPK, NKNA, TAC2, Hs.2563

Isotype: Rabbit Polyclonal

Immunogen:
Neurokinin A/Substance K (Peninsula), conjugated to BSA

Form: Serum containing 0.1% sodium azide

Specificity:
Absorption with 10-100 ?g NKA per ml diluted antiserum abolishes the staining, while substance P does not.

Reactivity: human, rat, pig, fish

Applications: Immunohistochemistry, suitable for frozen and paraffin sections

Working DIlution: 1:40 – 1:80 (PAP); 1:20 - 1:40 for immunofluorescence microscopy (FITC)

Positive Control:
Formalin-fixed paraffin sections of rat colon

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