Galanin (GAL) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA
Recommend Dilution	This antibody has been tested and validated in ELISA against Galanin. Other applications like immunohistochemistry (IHC), FACS or Western Blot may work as well. Optimal dilutions should be determined by the end user.
Reactivity	Human
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	Synthetic peptide H-Gly-Trp-Thr-Leu-Asn-Ser-Ala-Gly-Tyr-Leu-Leu-Gly- Pro-His-Ala-Val-Gly-Asn-His-Arg-Ser-Phe-Ser-Asp-Lys-Asn-Gly-Leu- Thr-Ser-OH coupled to carrier protein.
Formulation	This polyclonal antibody is supplied as a lyophilized powder. The powder should be rehydrated with 50ml of RIA buffer. Upon reconstitution to 50ml total volume, the solution contains 0.1M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), 0.05M NaCl, 0.1% BSA, 0.01% NaN3, and 0.1% Triton X-100. Store at 4° - 8°C. This should ensure antibody stability for approximately one month.

Storage Condition	Original vial: at least one year at 4° - 8°C from date of delivery. Minimize repeated thawing and freezing of the antiserum by freezing aliquots at -20°C or below.
Gene Name	galanin and GMAP prepropeptide
Database Link	Entrez Gene 51083 Human UniProt ID P22466
Background	Galanin is a 39 amino acid neuropeptide produced from the cleavage of the 123 amino acid preprogalanin (encoded by GAL gene). It is an inhibitory, hyperpolarizing neuropeptide and as such inhibits neurotransmitter release. Galanin signaling occurs through three G protein-coupled receptors and it is widely expressed in the brain, spinal cord, and gut of humans as well as other mammals. Galanin has been implicated in biological functions such as nociception, waking and sleep regulation, cognition, feeding, regulation of mood, and regulation of blood pressure. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Galanin coupled to a carrier protein.
Synonyms	GAL1; galanin; GALN; GLNN; GMAP; MGC40167
