Gene Information

human ... AANAT(15)

Specificity

Recognizes AANAT (Arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase). The antibody specifically recognizes the phosphorylated N-terminal PKA site of AANAT (pT31) (Ganguly et al. 2005). The antibody reacts with natural and recombinant protein.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide (phosphorylated) corresponding to amino acids near the N-terminous of rat AANAT conjugated to BSA. {Ganguly, S et al, 2005}.

Application

Anti-AANAT Antibody is an antibody against AANAT for use in WB.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Neurotransmitters & Receptors
Western Blot: 1:10,000-1:20,000 using ECL. Reacts with the ~23 kDa AANAT protein. Some reactivity may also be seen at ~97 kDa. Suggested blocking buffer is PBS with 10% non fat dry milk and 0.2% Tween-20. Suggested dilution buffer is PBS with 1 mg/mL BSA fraction V. Suggested incubation time is overnight at room temperature (~23°C).

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Liquid rabbit serum containing no preservative.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months after date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Analysis Note

Control
POSITIVE CONTROL:

Night adapted rat pineal gland. Expression is light sensitive; highest levels are obtained from animals at night.

We showed expression of the tryptophan hydroxylase gene and of tryptophan hydroxylase protein immunoreactivity in mouse skin and skin cells. Extracts from skin and melanocyte samples acetylated serotonin to N-acetylserotonin and tryptamine to N-acetyltryptamine. A different enzyme from arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase
Dynamics in enzymatic protein complexes offer a novel principle for the regulation of melatonin synthesis in the human pineal gland.

Melatonin is a key hormone that regulates circadian rhythms, metabolism, and reproduction. However, the mechanisms of melatonin synthesis and secretion have not been fully defined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the functions of the LIM homeobox transcription
