Detection limit 1:32000
Application Notes
WB: Preliminary experiments gave an approx. 40 kDa band in rat brain lysates after 0.2 ug/ml antibody staining. Please note that currently we cannot find an explanation in the literature for the band we observe given the calculated size of 30.8 kDa band according to mouse NP_001002927.1 and 30.9 kDa band according to rat NP_058835.1. The 40 kDa band was successfully blocked by incubation with the immunizing peptide. IHC-Fr: Rat brain (striatum) shows staining of dense enkephalinergic axon plexus. Mouse brain (stria terminalis) shows staining of a dense enkephalinergic fibre network in the bed nucleus.

Background: Proenkephalin

Enkephalins are small peptides derived from large precursers (pro-enkephalin A and B) containing multiple enkephalin copies. They are the most abundant opioid peptides in the body and are widely distributed in the brain and the peripheral nervous system and occur also in the adrenal medulla. Several types of neuroendocrine tumors, including pheochromocytomas, neuroblastomas and bronchial and gastrointestinal endocrine tumors, produce enkephalin.
