Target/Specificity | This GHRL antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 11-43 amino acids from human GHRL. |
Dilution | WB~~1:2000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | GHRL Antibody (N-Term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | GHRL |

Synonyms | MTLRP |
Function | [Ghrelin-27]: Ghrelin is the ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1 (GHSR) (PubMed:10604470). Induces the release of growth hormone from the pituitary (PubMed:10604470). Has an appetite-stimulating effect, induces adiposity and stimulates gastric acid secretion. Involved in growth regulation. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. |
Tissue Location | 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 |
