基因名称(Gene Name)
CARTPT CART
蛋白名称
Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript protein [Cleaved into: CART(1-39); CART(42-89)]
免疫原
Synthesized peptide derived from part region of human protein AA range: 1-50
特异性
CART Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.
组成
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.
纯化工艺
The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
背景
This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple biologically active peptides. These peptides play a role in appetite, energy balance, maintenance of body weight, reward and addiction, and the stress response. Expression of a similar gene transcript in rodents is upregulated following administration of cocaine and amphetamine. Mutations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to obesity in humans.

功能
disease:A defect in CART is associated with reduced resting energy expenditure and cosegregates with obesity phenotype.,function:Satiety factor closely associated with the actions of leptin and neuropeptide y; this anorectic peptide inhibits both normal and starvation-induced feeding and completely blocks the feeding response induced by neuropeptide Y and regulated by leptin in the hypothalamus. It promotes neuronal development and survival in vitro.,induction:By leptin.,similarity:Belongs to the CART family.,tissue specificity:Hypothalamus. Found in neurons of the ventrolateral part of the arcuate nucleus, in the external zone of the median eminence, and also found in terminals in the periventricular part of the paraventricular nucleus.,
