Urotensin II polyclonal, anti-human, mouse

Background:
Urotensin II is an active cyclic heptapeptide absolutely conserved from lamprey to human. The active peptide acts as a vasoconstrictor and is expressed only in brain tissue. Despite the gene family name similarity, this gene is not homologous to urocortin, a member of the sauvagine/corticotropin releasing factor/urotensin I family. Most of the proprotein is cleaved to make the mature peptide.

Alternative Name:
Urotensin-2, Urotensin II, U-II, UII, UNQ525/PRO1068, UTS2

Application Dilution: WB: 1:500~1:2000, IHC: 1:50~1:200

Specificity: Urotensin II polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Urotensin II protein.
