Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Synthetic peptide corresponding to CPTSQGRSPAGPTVVSI-amide cloned from human (DbH) cDNA. MW: 70-75kD.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in 10mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150mM sodium chloride, 0.1mg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol.
Extra Details:: The production of neurotransmitters is controlled by environmental stimuli, which send signals through second messengers and protein kinase pathways. Regulation of gene expression of dopamine beta hydroxylase and tyrosine hydroxylase, two of the catecholamine biosynthetic enzymes, by cyclic AMP, diacyl glycerol, and Ca2+ leads to increased neurotransmitter biosynthesis. Dopamine beta-hydroxylase catalyzes the conversion of dopamine to noradrenaline and is expressed selectively in noradrenergic and adrenergic neurons in the nervous system. The disruption of the DBH gene is thought to cause changes in development and behavior in certain models. Both DBH and the multiple regulatory pathways of DBH are of increasing research in many neurological diseases. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1:250-1:1000 Immunohistochemistry: 1:250-1:1000. Staining was evaluated in the locus coeruleus of formaldehyde-fixed, cryopreserved human and monkey brain. Showed moderate staining on both human and monkey. 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. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
