Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat CART Antibody

CART antibody in Human Brain Hippocampus Tissue by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Detection of CART in Human Brain Hypothalamus Tissue.

CART was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain (Hypothalamus) tissue using Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat CART Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF163) at 1 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (VC004). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to neurons. Staining was performed using our IHC Staining with VisUCyte HRP Polymer Detection Reagents.
CART antibody in Mouse Brain Tissue by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr).

CART in Mouse Brain Tissue.

CART was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of mouse brain tissue using Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat CART Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF163) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to neurons. Staining was performed using our Fluorescent IHC Staining of Frozen Tissue Sections.

Background: CART

CART, also known as cocaine and amphetamine-regulated transcript, is a 10 kDa secreted polypeptide produced by neuronal cell types in a variety of locations. In human, the molecule is synthesized as a 116 amino acid (aa) precursor with a 27 aa signal sequence an 89 aa mature segment. There are six C-terminal cysteines that form three intrachain disulfide bonds, and the potential exists for both sulfation and phosphorylation in the N-terminal region. There are numerous monobasic and dibasic sites for enzyme cleavage, and multiple, presumably proteolytically-generated short forms are known to exist. These include a 5K, 48 aa peptide (CART 42-89), and a 4.3K, 40 aa peptide (CART 49-89). Human CART is 98% aa identical to both moyuse and rat CART (1-89). Although CART suppresses feeding and increases pain tolerance, there would appear to be differences between the various forms of CART on other functions. In addition, anatomical location is associated with differing lengths of CART. For example, 89 aa and 79 aa forms are found in the adrenal, while 48 aa and 44 aa forms are found in the hypothalamus.
