  • Product overview


    • Human PMCH Antibody Pair is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify Human PMCH 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.

    •  Antibody properties:

    •  Capture antibody: recombinant rabbit monoclonal (unconjugated) – 100 µg

    •  Detector antibody: recombinant rabbit monoclonal (unconjugated) - 100 µg

    •  Concentration: ~1 mg/ml

    •  Storage buffer: 100% PBS

    •  Form: Liquid

  • Function

    MCH may act as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in a broad array of neuronal functions directed toward the regulation of goal-directed behavior, such as food intake, and general arousal. May also have a role in spermatocyte differentiation.

  • Tissue specificity

    Predominantly expressed in lateral hypothalamus, also detected in pallidum, neocortex and cerebellum. Also found in thymus, brown adipose tissue, duodenum and testis (spermatogonia, early spermatocytes and Sertoli cells). No expression in peripheral blood. In brain exclusively mature MCH and NEI peptides are present. In peripheral tissues a large product, encompassing the NEI and MCH domains of the precursor, is found predominantly.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the melanin-concentrating hormone family.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Differentially processed in the brain and in peripheral organs producing two neuropeptides; NEI and MCH. A third peptide, NGE, may also be produced. Preferential processing in neurons by prohormone convertase 2 (PC2) generates NEI. MCH is generated in neurons of the lateral hypothalmic area by several prohormone convertases including PC1/3, PC2 and PC5/6.
