Description: Agouti-related protein (AgRP), also called agouti-related peptide, is a neuropeptide produced in the brain by the AgRP/NPY neuron. In humans, the agouti-related peptide is encoded by the AGRP gene. This gene encodes an antagonist of the melanocortin-3 and melanocortin-4 receptor. It appears to regulate hypothalamic control of feeding behavior via melanocortin receptor and/or intracellular calcium regulation, and thus plays a role in weight homeostasis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with late on-set obesity.

Immunogen: A recombinant mouse partial protein corresponding to amino acids S82-T131 was used as the immunogen for the AGRP antibody.

Storage: After reconstitution, the AGRP antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
