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.

This Anti-Cocaine & Amphetamine Related Transcript Antibody is validated for use in ELISA, WB, IH for the detection of Cocaine & Amphetamine Related Transcript.
Western blotting: 1-10 μg/mL using ECL.
Immunohistochemistry: 5-10 μg/mL 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 (Catalog Number AG228) per well.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

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

The mammalian hypothalamus strongly influences ingestive behaviour through several different signalling molecules and receptor systems. Here we show that CART (cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript), a brain-located peptide, is a satiety factor and is closely associated with the actions of two

PCR differential display screening has recently identified a rat mRNA termed CART (cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript) which is transcriptionally regulated in the striatum following acute administration of psychomotor stimulants. The endogenous CART transcript is expressed in diverse rat brain structures

Neuronal plasticity associated with both short- and long-term administration of psychomotor stimulants involves alterations in specific patterns of gene expression. In order to screen for brain region specific mRNAs which are transcriptionally regulated by acute cocaine and amphetamine, PCR differential
