Clone Host Grade Applications Polyclonal Rabbit Serum IH

Human brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a secreted protein which is a member of the natriuretic peptide family. BNP is a cardiac hormone, which is synthesized as a pro-hormone (proBNP), and is proteolytically cleaved to release a biologically active fragment (BNP), and an inactive fragment (NT-proBNP) into the circulation.
Catalog #	B2702-05A
	BNP is predominantly secreted from the cardiac ventricles in response to volume and pressure overload, and results in a number of biological activities including natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation, and inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system. A high concentration of BNP in the bloodstream is indicative of heart failure.
Applications	Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution	Immunohistochemistry (Frozen): 1:2000-1:8000 Staining of BNP in tissue sections is abolished in the presence of 100nmol BNP. There is no inhibition of staining with ANP.
	Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
