Gene Information

Specificity

Recognizes Cocaine and Amphetamine Related Transcript (CART). CART has been found to control satiety modulating the actions of two key regulators of food intake, leptin and NPY. Starvation decreases CART levels in the arcuate nucleus (Kristensen et al. 1998). Obese animals have virtually no CART. CART inhibits both normal and starvation-induced feeding, and completely inhibits NPY-induced feeding. Immunoneutralization of CART by administration of anti-CART resulted into higher food intake suggesting that CART is an endogenous regulator of food intake.

Immunogen

Mouse/rat CART peptide (55-102).

Application

Detect Cocaine & Amphetamine Related Transcript using this Anti-Cocaine & Amphetamine Related Transcript Antibody validated for use in ELISA, WB, IH.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category

Reward & Addiction
Western blotting: 1-10 μg/mL using ECL.

Immunohistochemistry: It has been reported that the antibody will recognize CART in neurons (cell bodies) from the rat hypothalamic arcuate nucleus.

ELISA: 1:10,000-1:50,000 using 50-100 ng control peptide per well.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Liquid in PBS with 0.1% BSA

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) is a regulator of feeding behavior. The effect of serotonin on food intake is believed to be primarily mediated via 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2C) receptors, which both are expressed in hypothalamic regions implicated in regulation of feeding behavior.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) interacts with hypothalamic neuronal pathways regulating feeding behaviour. GABA has been reported to stimulate feeding via both ionotropic GABA(A) and metabotropic GABA(B) receptors. The functional form of the GABA(B) receptor is a heterodimer consisting of GABA(B) receptor-1

Food intake is regulated via neural circuits located in the hypothalamus. During the past decade our knowledge on the specific mediators and neuronal networks that regulate food intake and body weight has increased dramatically. An important contribution to the understanding
