General description

Several peptides associated with feeding behavior have been reported recently. Orexins (Orexin-A and Orexin-B) are a family of hypothalamic neuropeptides selectively expressed in the hypothalamus (Sakurai et al., 1998). Orexin-A and Orexin-B are derived from the same precursor (Prepro-orexin) by proteolytic cleavage. Prepro-orexin is an 130 aa peptide with a putative 33 aa secretory sequence, a hydrophobic core followed by residues with small polar side chains. The expression was detected in brain and to a small extent in testis (Sakurai et al., 1998; DeLecca et al., 1998). These neuropeptides bind and activate two closely related Orexin receptors--G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) OX1R and OX2R.

Specificity

Mouse/Rat Orexin-B. Reacts with full length Orexin-B. The AB3100 epitope is not found in Orexin-A. Since Orexins-A and Orexin-B are derived from an unprocessed pre-pro orexins (130 aa), the anti-Orexin-B antibodies may also react with pre-pro orexins.

Immunogen

A 13 amino acid peptide mapping near the amino terminus of mouse Orexin-B. The immunogen peptide has 92% similarity with human Orexin-B.

Application

Anti-Orexin-B Antibody detects level of Orexin-B & has been published & validated for use in ELISA & WB.
Western blot: 1-10 μg/mL using Chemiluminescence technique

ELISA: 1:10,000 - 100,000 using 50-100 ng of control peptide per well.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Liquid in PBS, with 0.1% BSA .

Orexin-A (OX-A) and orexin-B (OX-B) are neuropeptides produced in the hypothalamus. Preclinical and clinical studies suggest that depression and anxiety are associated with the orexin system. In the current study, we used the learned helplessness (LH) animal model of depression
