Product details

Human AGRP Antibody Pair is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify Human AGRP in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.

Patented technology
Our RabMAb^® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb^® patents.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:

Sandwich ELISA
FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
Meso Scale Discovery^® (MSD^®)
Bead-based assays
AlphaLISA^®/AlphaScreen^®
DELFIA^® immunoassays
Simoa^® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
Multiplex

Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:

Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.

We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.

Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.

Please note:

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.

The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.

We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

AGRP also known as Agouti-related protein is a neuropeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 13.5 kDa. It is predominantly expressed in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus in the brain and some regions of the adrenal gland. AGRP serves as an antagonist to melanocortin receptors particularly the melanocortin 3 and 4 receptors (MC3R and MC4R) which are involved in energy homeostasis. By binding to these receptors AGRP plays a critical role in the regulation of appetite and energy balance by inhibiting the action of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone.

Biological function summary

AGRP is involved in the regulation of feeding behavior and body weight. It does not function as part of a larger complex but operates effectively as an antagonist in its own right. When expressed AGRP influences energy expenditure and food intake contributing to how the body regulates hunger and satiety. Its activity helps to modulate signaling pathways that can increase the desire to eat when energy stores are depleted.

Pathways

AGRP plays a notable role in the melanocortin pathway and influences the hypothalamic signaling pathways related to energy balance. It interacts with melanocortin receptors as part of this system modulating signals that maintain energy homeostasis. AGRP is closely related to orexigenic pathways working alongside other proteins like neuropeptide Y (NPY) which further stimulate appetite and food intake.

AGRP has a strong connection to obesity and metabolic disorders. It is implicated in conditions where energy balance is disrupted leading to excessive weight gain. AGRP levels can be elevated in individuals with obesity suggesting a link between its upregulation and increased appetite. Additionally the protein interacts with leptin a hormone involved in energy expenditure and appetite suppression highlighting AGRP's role in metabolic conditions where leptin signaling may be impaired.

Target data

Plays a role in weight homeostasis. Involved in the control of feeding behavior through the central melanocortin system. Acts as alpha melanocyte-stimulating hormone antagonist by inhibiting cAMP production mediated by stimulation of melanocortin receptors within the hypothalamus and adrenal gland. Has very low activity with MC5R (By similarity). Is an inverse agonist for MC3R and MC4R being able to suppress their constitutive activity. It promotes MC3R and MC4R endocytosis in an arrestin-dependent manner.
