CloneID: 4C11
Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was generated by immunizing mice with immunized with a N-terminal hepcidin peptide 'DTHFPIC' conjugated with a five amino acid peptide linker (i.e., GPGPG) to an OVA peptide (amino acids 323-336) sequence, i.e., full-length immunogen DTHFPICGPGPGISQAVHAAHAEINE.
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Available Custom Conjugation Options: AP, HRP, Fluorescein, APC, PE, Biotin Type A, Biotin Type B, Streptavidin, FluoroProbes 647H, Atto488, APC/Cy7, PE/Cy7
Uniprot Accession No.: P81172
Specificity Statement: This antibody binds human hepcidin-25 in the N-terminus region. This antibody also cross reacts with mouse and rat hepcidin-2, to a much lesser degree, human hepcidin-22 but not human hepcidin-20. Hepcidin is a an iron-regulating peptide hormone made in the liver. Hepcidin is a cationic, cysteine-rich and tightly folded peptide stabilized by 4 disulfide bonds that plays a major role in innate immunity and iron homeostasis. It controls the delivery of iron to blood plasma from intestinal cells absorbing iron, from erythrocyte-recycling macrophages, and from iron-storing hepatocytes. Hepcidin acts by binding to and inactivating the sole cellular iron exporter, ferroprotein, which delivers iron to plasma from all iron-transporting cells.
Application Notes (Clone): This antibody can be used for the detection of human, rat or mouse hepcidin-25 using ELISA. This antibody can also detect human hepcidin-22 with a binding affinity of Kd= 209nM (US8609817).
