Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Immunogen Synthetic peptide corresponding to AA 1 to 16 from mouse Neuropeptide Y (UniProt Id: P57774)
Reactivity Reacts with: rat (P07808), mouse (P57774).
Other species not tested yet.
Specificity Specific for Neuropeptide Y, may cross-react with the unprocessed precursor protein. K.O. validated
Remarks

Background
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino acid polypeptide that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and in the autonomic nervous system. It is produced and secreted by neurons of the sympathetic nervous system and neurons in the brain, e.g. the hypothalamus. NPY is involved in several physiological functions, including: increasing food intake and storage of energy as fat, reducing anxiety and stress, reducing pain perception, and lowering blood pressure.
