Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody binds human hepcidin-25 in the N-terminus region. This antibody also cross reacts with mouse and rat hepcidin-2, to a much lesser degree, human hepcidin-22 but not human hepcidin- 20. Hepcidin is a an iron-regulating peptide hormone made in the liver. Hepcidin is a cationic, cysteine-rich and tightly folded peptide stabilized by 4 disulfide bonds that plays a major role in innate immunity and iron homeostasis. It controls the delivery of iron to blood plasma from intestinal cells absorbing iron, from erythrocyte-recycling macrophages, and from iron-storing hepatocytes. Hepcidin acts by binding to and inactivating the sole cellular iron exporter, ferroprotein, which delivers iron to plasma from all iron- transporting cells. |
Alternative Name | HAMP; hHepc; HEPC; LEAP1; LEAP-1; Hepcidin; Liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 1; hepcidin-22 |
UniProt | P81172 |
Immunogen | The original antibody was generated by immunizing mice with immunized with a N-terminal hepcidin peptide 'DTHFPIC' conjugated with a five amino acid peptide linker (i.e., GPGPG) to an OVA peptide (amino acids 323-336) sequence, i.e., full-length immunogen DTHFPICGPGPGISQAVHAAHAEINE. |
Application Notes | This antibody can be used for the detection of human, rat or mouse hepcidin-25 using ELISA.This antibody can also detecthuman hepcidin-22 with a binding affinity of Kd= 209nM (US8609817). |
