Product overview
- Human AGT Antibody Pair is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify Human AGT in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.
- The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- - Sandwich ELISA
- - FRET/TR-FRET/HTR
- - Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- - Luminex® and bead-based assays
- - AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- - DELFIA® immunoassays
- - Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- - Multiplex
- Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- - Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- - Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
- Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with
- We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
- Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
- Please note:
- The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
- The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
- We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

Function
Essential component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), a potent regulator of blood pressure, body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. In response to lowered blood pressure, the enzyme renin cleaves angiotensinogen to produce angiotensin-1 (angiotensin 1-10). Angiotensin-1 is a substrate of ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) that removes a dipeptide to yield the physiologically active peptide angiotensin-2 (angiotensin 1-8). Angiotensin-1 and angiotensin-2 can be further processed to generate angiotensin-3 (angiotensin 2-8), angiotensin-4 (angiotensin 3-8). Angiotensin 1-7 is cleaved from angiotensin-2 by ACE2 or from angiotensin-1 by MME (neprilysin). Angiotensin 1-9 is cleaved from angiotensin-1 by ACE2.
Angiotensin-2 acts directly on vascular smooth muscle as a potent vasoconstrictor, affects cardiac contractility and heart rate through its action on the sympathetic nervous system, and alters renal sodium and water absorption through its ability to stimulate the zona glomerulosa cells of the adrenal cortex to synthesize and secrete aldosterone.
Angiotensin-3 stimulates aldosterone release.
Angiotensin 1-7 is a ligand for the G-protein coupled receptor MAS1 (By similarity). Has vasodilator and antidiuretic effects (By similarity). Has an antithrombotic effect that involves MAS1-mediated release of nitric oxide from platelets. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma. -
Involvement in disease
Genetic variations in AGT are a cause of susceptibility to essential hypertension (EHT) [MIM:145500]. Essential hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure is consistently higher than normal with no identifiable cause.
Defects in AGT are a cause of renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) [MIM:267430]. RTD is an autosomal recessive severe disorder of renal tubular development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype). -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the serpin family. -
Post-translational
modificationsBeta-decarboxylation of Asp-34 in angiotensin-2, by mononuclear leukocytes produces alanine. The resulting peptide form, angiotensin-A, has the same affinity for the AT1 receptor as angiotensin-2, but a higher affinity for the AT2 receptor. -
