Product Data

• Applications: ELISA
• Recommended Dilution: This antibody has been tested and validated in ELISA against Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide. Other applications like immunohistochemistry (IHC), FACS or Western Blot may work as well. Optimal dilutions should be determined by the end user.
• Reactivities: Human, Bovine, Porcine, Rat
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Synthetic peptide H-His-Ser-Asp-Ala-Val-Phe-Thr-Asp-Asn-Tyr-Thr-Arg- Leu-Arg-Lys-Gln-Met-Ala-Val-Lys-Lys-Tyr-Leu-Asn-Ser-Ile-Leu-Asn-NH2 coupled to a 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% ProClin 150, and 0.1% Triton X-100. Store at 4° - 8°C. This should ensure antibody stability for approximately one month.

• Database Link:
  Entrez Gene 7432 Human
  UniProt ID P01282
• Background: Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28 amino acid neuropeptide that is vasoactive in the intestine. It belongs to a glucagon/secretin superfamily, the ligand of class II G protein- coupled receptors. VIP is produced in many tissues of vertebrates including the gut, pancreas, and suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus in the brain. VIP functions as neuromodulator and neurotransmitter, and it is known to regulate muscle activity, epithelial cell secretion, and blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide coupled to a carrier protein
• Synonyms: MGC13587; PHM27
