Polyclonal Guinea-Pig anti-CGRP

Immunogen: Synthetic human calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP; #6009, Peninsula)

Concentration: n/a

Storage buffer: Lyophilized; reconstitute in 100 µl dist. water

Additional info: 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. Absorption with 10-100 ug CGRP per ml diluted antiserum abolishes the staining while calcitonin, does not. Cross-reacts with amylin (IAPP).
Positive control: Stefanini-fixed frozen sections of rat colon.
