Extra Details:: AGRP, also known as agouti-related protein and agouti-related peptide, is a neuropeptide produced in the brain by the AGRP/NPY neuron. It is only synthesised in NPY-containing cell bodies located in the ventromedial part of the arcuate nucleus in the hypothalamus. AGRP is co-expressed with Neuropeptide Y and works by increasing appetite and decreasing metabolism and energy expenditure. It is one of the most potent and long-lasting of appetite stimulators. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa21-132 from human AGRP, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E.coli. Molecular Weight: ~15.1kD (137aa), confirmed by MALDI-TOF Applications: Suitable for use in SDS-PAGE. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing..
