Anti-Ghrelin polyclonal antibody

Guinea pig Anti-Human Ghrelin polyclonal antibody for IHC. Ghrelin is a 28 amino acid peptide and hormone that is produced mainly by P/D1 cells lining the fundus of the human stomach and epsilon cells of the pancreas that stimulates hunger. Ghrelin levels increase before meals and decrease after meals. It is considered the counterpart of the hormone leptin, produced by adipose tissue, which induces satiation when present at higher levels. In some bariatric procedures, the level of ghrelin is reduced in patients, thus causing satiation before it would normally occur.

Storage Temp

It is recommended that a thawed sample is stored at 4ºC for no longer than 2 weeks. Allocation of appropriate anti-bacterial agent can increase shelf life by several weeks. Diluted serum should be prepared as required. Long term stability requires storage, preferably in small aliquots at -20ºC or lower. Glycerol (1:1) can be added to neat serum for additional stability if intended use does not prevent this.
