BioVenic rabbit polyclonal antibody is specific for mouse orexin A. It is purified by protein A/G. It can be applied to WB, IHC, ICC and IP assays of mouse orexin A.
Specifications
Target Information
Mouse orexin A is a 33-residue, C-terminally amidated neuropeptide excised from the 130-amino-acid prepro-orexin precursor by prohormone convertases. The peptide contains four cysteines that form two intramolecular disulfide bridges (C6-C12, C7-C14), generating a compact cyclic structure essential for receptor binding. Expressed selectively in lateral and posterior hypothalamic neurons, orexin A is packaged in dense-core vesicles and released along axonal projections to thalamic and brainstem targets. Antibodies raised against the full cyclic peptide or C-terminal fragments detect native orexin A with negligible cross-reactivity to orexin B or other hypothalamic peptides, enabling precise immunohistochemical and immunoblot visualization in mouse brain extracts and tissue sections.
