Melatonin Receptor 1B (MTNR1B) Goat Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, IHC
Recommend Dilution	Peptide ELISA: 1/32000 (Detection limit). Western blot: Preliminary experiments gave approx .48kDa and 37kDa bands in Human Brain (Cerebellum) lysates after 1µg/ml antibody staining. Please note that currently we cannot find an explanation in the literature for the band we observe given the calculated size of 40.2kDa according to NP_005950.1. The 48kDa and 37kDa bands were successfully blocked by incubation with the immunizing peptide. We would appreciate any feedback from people in the field - have any results been reported with other antibodies/lysates? Have any further splice variants/modified forms been reported? Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections: 3-6 μg/ml. In paraffin embedded Cerebellum shows membranous staining primarily in Purkinje cells.

Background	MTNR1b is a Melatonin Receptor that mediates the effects of melatonin in the retina and the photoperiodic control of neuroendocrine functions. It may also be involved in melatonin-induced immune enhancement.MTNR1b has been reported in adipose, brain, eye, and ovary. An EST has been isolated from an eye tissue library.
Synonyms	MTNR1B
