Polyclonal Antibody against Mouse MUP-1
Size: 0.1 mg
Introduction
Major urinary protein 1 (MUP-1), also known as Mup7, Up-1, Ltn-1, Mup-1, Mup-a, Mup10 and Lvtn-1, is a low molecular weight
secreted protein produced predominantly from the liver [1]. Structurally it belongs to the lipocalin family, which carries small
hydrophobic ligands such as pheromones. MUP-1 is an important player in regulating energy expenditure and metabolism in mice,
and its deficiency might contribute to the metabolic dysregulation in obese/diabetic mice [2].
Purification
Antigen affinity-purified
Immunogen
Recombinant full-length mouse MUP-1 expressed in E.coli.
Specificity
The antibody detects circular/urinary mouse MUP-1.
Formulation
Liquid in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS).
Storage
Store at –20°C for less than one week. For long-term storage, aliquot and freeze at -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/defrost cycles.
Application/Usage
ELISA - This antibody can be used at 1-2 μg/mL with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect mouse MUP-1.
Western blot
