Physical form

Sheep serum. Lyophilized, no preservatives. Reconstitute with 100 µL of sterile distilled water.

Specificity

Neuropeptide Y (NPY). The specificity was determined by RIA. Synthetic peptides somatostatin-14, leu-enkephalin, met-enkephalin, oxytocin, Agr8-vasopressin, vasoactive intestinal peptide and angiotensin II showed less than 0.005% cross reactivity and substance P less than 0.02%. Peptide YY and bovine pancreatic polypeptide showed approximately 36% and 0.05% cross reactivity respectively. Human Peptide YY shares 65% homology amino acid sequence for human NPY.



Synthetic NPY completely abolishes radio labeled NPY binding to NPY antibody in RIA and antibody binding to tissue antigen.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -20 to -70°C in undiluted aliquots for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
