This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Block/Neutralize/Inhibit, ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, Immunohistochemistry - fixed, Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blot. The Anti-rat Growth Hormone antibody was generated using Growth Hormone 1, and somatotropin as the antigen and it reacts with Rat.
Description
Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Somatotropin(GH1) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P, ELISA, Neu, IP in Rat.
Background: Growth Hormone(GH) is mapped to 17q22-q24. Human growth hormone has a molecular mass of 22,005 and contains 191 amino acid residues with 2 disulfide bridges. Rat GH shares 98% amino acid sequence homology with mouse. It binds two receptor molecules and thereby induces signal transduction through receptor dimerization. At high concentrations, GH acts as an antagonist because of a large difference in affinities at the respective binding sites
