一般描述
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a circulating 19-amino acid residue cyclic neuropeptide present in hypothalamus. In mammals, MCH is a, encoded by the precursor pro-melanin concentrating hormone (PMCH). It was first discovered in fish and subsequently in mammalian (rat). MCH perikarya is confined largely to the lateral hypothalamus area (LHA) and the adjacent zon incerta with extensive neuronal projections throughout the brain. MCH is detected in basal ganglia, neocortex, cerebellum, thymus, brown adipose tissue, duodenum, and testis. The structure of MCH is highly conserved among species.
免疫原
synthetic peptide corresponding to human melanin-concentrating hormone conjugated to KLH. The MCH sequence is identical in many species including rat, mouse, and pig.
应用
Anti-MCH antibody produced in rabbit has been used in radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry.
Anti-MCH antibody may be used at a working dilution of 1:30000 for RIA. For immunohistochemistry of mouse hypothalamus sections, a working antibody dilution of 1:200 may be used. The antibody has been used for immunoblotting in cytoplasmic extracts of T cells at a concentration of 5.7 μg/ml. The antibody is suitable for protein microarray.
生化/生理作用
MCH mRNA is overexpressed and up-regulated during fasting in the hypothalamus of ob/ob mice as well as rats. Injection of MCH into the lateral ventricles in rats promote increased food consumption. In addition, knockout mice lacking MCH gene are lean and hypophagic and show an increase in metabolic rate. In contrast, overexpression of MCH in transgenic mice leads to obesity and insulin resistance.
外形
Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 15 mM sodium azide.
