Anti Exendin-4

Mouse monoclonal antibody, biotinylated

Cat.No. ABS 012-35B

Subclass IgG1/k

Presentation:

Preparation: Biotinylated
Content: 50 無, 1 mg/mL
Solvent: 0.01 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, with 0.14 M NaCl and 15 mM sodium azide
Storage: In the dark at 4-8慢

Antigen:

Exendin-4 is a 39-amino-acid peptide found in venom from the Gila monster Heloderma suspectum (1). It is a member of the glucagon-secretin family of peptide hormones and neuropeptides. Exendin-4 is a potent agonist of the GLP-1 receptor and hence a potent stimulator of insulin secretion (2).

Immunogen:

Synthetic exendin-4 coupled to carrier and adsorbed onto aluminum hydoxide gel

Specificity:

Specific for exendin-4. No cross-reactivity with GLP-1, GLP-2 (human) or glucagon coated on ELISA wells.

Epitope specificity:

The epitope is in the 9-39 region of the peptide, and the antibody cross-reacts strongly with exendin (9-39)amide.

Reactivity:

ABS 012-35 binds to exendin-4 when coated on ELISA wells and reacts specifically with exendin-4 in solution giving a Ka of 1.1x10E9 in an inhibition ELISA. The binding between ABS 012-35 and exendin-4 is disrupted by 4.5 M MgCl2.

ABS 012-35 (as biotinylated detection antibody) forms a sandwich ELISA pair with ABS 033-10 (as capture antibody) for measuring exendin-4, giving a detection limit of as little as 10 pmol/L in an unoptimized buffer assay.

Application:

Application Remarks:

The dilution guideline for ELISA is based on use as detection antibody for antigen coated at 0.2 痢/ml. Users should determine the optimal dilutions for their own purposes.
