MyBioSource.com's CRH Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot. The CRH Antibody was generated using Corticotropin Releasing Factor, CRH, and Miscellaneous as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is secreted by the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus in response to stress (1). In addition to production in the hypothalamus, this protein is also synthesized in peripheral tissues, such as T lymphocytes and is highly expressed in the placenta where it is a marker that determines the length of gestation and the timing of parturition and delivery. A rapid increase in circulating levels of the hormone occurs at the onset of parturition, suggesting that, in addition to its metabolic functions, this protein may act as a trigger for parturitio (2). Marked reduction in this protein has been observed in association with Alzheimer disease (3)
