Description: Apelin is a neuropeptide expressed in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei that acts on specific receptors located on vasopressinergic neurons. The gene is at Xq25-q26.3, based on sequence similarity between the Apelin sequence and a chromosome X PAC clone. This gene encodes a peptide that functions as an endogenous ligand for the G protein coupled receptor APJ. The encoded protein is synthesized as a prepropeptide that is processed into biologically active C-terminal fragments. The peptide fragments activate different tissue specific signaling pathways that regulate diverse biological functions including fluid homeostasis, cardiovascular function and insulin secretion. This protein also functions as a coreceptor for the human immunodeficiency virus 1.

Immunogen: An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of Apelin (RKFRRQRPRLSHKGPMPF) was used as the immunogen for this Apelin antibody (100% homologous in human, mouse and rat).

Storage: After reconstitution, the Apelin 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.
