Background InformationAgouti-related peptide-expressing (AgRP) neurons seem to be critical for the acute regulation of eating. The AgRP protein is a strong antagonis of MC3-R and MC4-R and is expressed primarily in the adrenal gland, subthalamic nucleus, and hypothalamus, with a lower level of expression occurring in testis, lung, and kidney.

Biological Information
ImmunogenA 15 amino acid peptide near the C-terminus of mouse AGRP (Shutter et al. 1997; Ollmann et al. 1997).
ConcentrationPlease refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
HostRabbit
SpecificityRecognizes AGRP. The immunogen shows no significant sequence homology with Agouti, tubby, tub, TULP1 or TULP2.

SPECIES REACTIVITIES: The immunogen sequence is 85% homologous with human and bovine. Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed.

Antibody TypePolyclonal Antibody
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryAgouti-related protein is an antagonist of the melanocortin-3 and melanocortin-4 receptor. It appears to regulate hypothalamic control of feeding behavior via melanocortin receptor and/or intracellular calcium regulation. Agouti-related protein is alternatively spliced into 2 variants which differ in 5' untranslated sequence length.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: O00253 # Plays a role in weight homeostasis. May play a role in the regulation of melanocortin receptors within the hypothalamus and adrenal gland, and therefore in the central control of feeding.
SIZE: 132 amino acids; 14440 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed primarily in the adrenal gland, subthalamic nucleus, and hypothalamus, with a lower level of expression occurring in testis, lung, and kidney.
DOMAIN: SwissProt: O00253 The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot' structurally defines this protein as a knottin.
DISEASE: SwissProt: O00253 # Defects in AGRP may be a cause of autosomal dominant obesity [MIM:601665].
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 agouti domain.
