Overview

  • Product name
    Anti-Nociceptin antibody
    See all Nociceptin primary antibodies
  • Description
    Rabbit polyclonal to Nociceptin
  • Host species
    Rabbit
  • Specificity
    Achieved by producing antibody only against the C terminal portion of the full peptide that avoids possible cross-reaction with enkephalin, dynorphin and endorphin. Specificity was tested by the use of various peptides for adsorption in immunohistochemistry including enkephalin, dynorphin and endorphin.
  • Tested applications
    Suitable for: ELISA, IHC-Fr, RIAmore details
  • Species reactivity
    Reacts with: Rat, Guinea pig
  • Immunogen

    Synthetic peptide CTGARKSARKLANQ corresponds to rat nociceptin protein with a cysteine added at the N terminal for conjugation to diphtheria toxoid. The peptide was cross-linked by maleimidocaproyl-N-hydroxy succinimide.

  • General notes
    This antibody can be used for staining nerve fibres in guinea pig myenteric plexus. Staining was established with the use of fluorescence immunohistochemistry (CY3).

Target

  • Function
    Nociceptin: Ligand of the opioid receptor-like receptor OPRL1. It may act as a transmitter in the brain by modulating nociceptive and locomotor behavior. May be involved in neuronal differentiation and development.
    Nocistatin: Blocks nociceptin action in pain transmission by inhibiting nociceptin-induced hyperalgesia and allodynia.
    Orphanin FQ2: Has potent analgesic activity.
  • Tissue specificity
    Predominantly expressed in the brain and spinal cord. Also expressed and secreted by peripheral blood neutrophils following degranulation.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the opioid neuropeptide precursor family.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues probably yield other active peptides besides nociceptin.
    The N-terminal domain contains 6 conserved cysteines thought to be involved in disulfide bonding and/or processing.
  • Cellular localization
    Secreted.

    I recently placed an order for AB6174 and have received it (impressively fast) last week. Anyhow, the information provided on the site mentions possible cross-reaction with enkephalin, dynorphin, and endorphin. We would like to do some testing in regar...

    Can you please send me details of the differances between this product and ab10276. Do they both select for the same nociceptin?

    Thank you for your enquiry. Below are the main differences between these two antibodies. Ab10276 - Guinea pig polyclonal to Nociceptin - was generated using the following inmmunogen: Synthetic peptide: FGGFTGARKSARKLANQ, corresponding to amino acids...

    Would you kindly tell me what is 17aa?

    Thank you for your enquiry. "17aa" refers to 17 amino acids. I hope this information helps, please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

    At what antibody concentration is the delivered 100ul of liquid?

    We use an estimate for anti-sera since there is no routine technique available for measuring the fraction of specific IgG to your target. The amount of IgG in whole anti-sera is around 10mg/ml and the amount of specific IgG is normally around 5-10% so ...

    Just wondering what you calculated the titre for this antibody to be? and how you'd define titre? Many thanks, Emma, PhD student, Leicester

    It depends on the application in which you intend to use the antibody. For IHC and 1-site ELISA, a working dilution of 1/3000 is suggested (based on work carried out by the originator of this antibody), however it is always a good idea to optimise in y...

    I am wondering about the ELISA method used to test this antibody - is it the same as that under the protocols section? If so, when using 6174 as the primary antibody, what dilution would you recommend? Many thanks, Emma PhD Student, Leicester

    This antibody has been tested in a 1-site ELISA only; the recommended dilution is 1/3000. The protocols in the protocols section are general guidelines.
