• Specificity: Clone 2E18 is a ZooMAb® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Calcitonin gene-related peptide 1. It targets an epitope within 22 amino acids from the active form of CGRP1.
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 22 amino acids from human active Calcitonin gene-related peptide 1 (C-terminal region of the uncleaved peptide)
• Application: Quality Control TestingEvaluated by Western Blotting in MCF-7 cell lysate.Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide 1 (CGRP-1) in MCF-7 cell lysate.Tested ApplicationsWestern Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected CGRP-1 in PC12 and K562 cells and in Human and mouse liver lysates.Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected CGRP-1 in human cerebral cortex and human DRG tissue sections.Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound CGRP-1 peptide with a KD of 1.9 x 10-7 in an affinity binding assay.Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected CGRP-1 in MCF7 cells.Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user
• Target description: Calcitonin gene-related peptide 1 (UniProt: P06881; also known as Alpha-type CGRP, Calcitonin gene-related peptide I, CGRP-I) is encoded by the CALCA (also known as CALC1) gene (Gene ID: 746) in human. CGRP, a 37 amino acid neuropeptide, is a highly potent and long-acting vasodilator with protective effects in the cardiovascular system. Two forms of CGRP have been described -CGRP-I and CGRP-II (also known as aCGRP and bCGRP) that are synthesized from two distinct genes. CGRP I is the primary neuronal form that is found in the CNS and in the peripheral nervous system and displays higher immunoreactivity than CGRP II. CGRP I is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-25) and two peptides (aa 26-80 and 125-128) that are cleaved off to generate biologically active form (aa 83-119). Following synthesis, it is stored in large, dense-core vesicles within the sensory nerve terminal and is released following neuronal depolarization via calcium-dependent exocytosis. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
