Immunogen Synthetic Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (Peninsula), conjugated to BSA.
Specificity This antibody reacts with Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP).
Absoprtion with 10-100 µg CGRP per ml diluted antiserum abolishes the staining while Calcitonin does not.
It does not cross-react with Amylin (IAPP).
Formulation State: Serum
State: Lyophilized undiluted Serum
Reconstitution Method Dissolve the antiserum in 50-100 µl distilled water and dilute further in 0.1M PBS with 1% BSA and 0.09% Sodium Azide.
Storage Prior to reconstitution store at 2-8°C.
Following reconstitution store undiluted at 2-8°C for one month
or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer.

Background The CGRP-sequence was predicted from the corresponding mRNA. CGRP is present in the C-cells of the thyroid and in nerves, in both brain and periphery, particularly within the sensory system. CGRP is a potent vasodilator, probably involved in neurogenic inflammation. Medullary carcinomas of the thyroid contain large amounts of CGRP.
Synonyms Calcitonin gene-related peptide I, Alpha-type CGRP, CALC1, CGRP-I
