Product overview
- Rat GHRL Antibody Pair is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify Rat GHRL 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
Ghrelin is the ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1 (GHSR). Induces the release of growth hormone from the pituitary. Has an appetite-stimulating effect, induces adiposity and stimulates gastric acid secretion. Involved in growth regulation.
Obestatin may be the ligand for GPR39. May have an appetite-reducing effect resulting in decreased food intake. May reduce gastric emptying activity and jejunal motility. -
Tissue specificity
Highest level in stomach. All forms are found in serum as well. Other tissues compensate for the loss of ghrelin synthesis in the stomach following gastrectomy. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the motilin family. -
Post-translational
modificationsO-octanoylation or O-decanoylation is essential for ghrelin activity. The O-decanoylated forms Ghrelin-27-C10 and Ghrelin-28-C10 differ in the length of the carbon backbone of the carboxylic acid bound to Ser-26. A small fraction of ghrelin, ghrelin-28-C10:1, may be modified with a singly unsaturated carboxylic acid.
Amidation of Leu-98 is essential for obestatin activity. -
