Anti-pro-TRH (C15-1317-409)

General description

Pro-thyrotropin-releasing hormone (UniProt: P01150; also known as Pro-TRH, Prothyroliberin, TRH, TSH-releasing factor, Thyrotropin-releasing factor, TRF) is encoded by the Trh gene (Gene ID: 25569) in rat. TRH is a secreted hypothalamic protein that travels across the median eminence to the pituitary via the hypophyseal portal system. It functions as a regulator of the biosynthesis of TSH in the anterior pituitary gland and as a neurotransmitter/ neuromodulator in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Pro-TRH (TRH-potentiating peptide: Ps4) is co-synthesized with TRH serves as a marker for TRH-containing neurons. Like TRH itself, pro-TRH is biologically active.

Specificity

This polyclonal antibody detects Thyrotropin-releasing hormone-containing neurons in Rat Hypothalamus and spinal cord.

Immunogen

A linear peptide corresponding to 10 amino acids

Application

Anti-pro-TRH, Cat. No. ABN1658, is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody, that targets pro- Thyrotropin-releasing hormone and has been tested in Immunofluorescence and Western Blotting.
