Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from mature region of human Hepcidin (HAMP) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein has been used as the antigen.
Accession
Also known
Hepcidin, Liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide, LEAP-1, Putative liver tumor regressor, HAMP, HEPC, LEAP1
Target
FUNCTION: Seems to act as a signaling molecule involved in the maintenance of iron homeostasis. Seems to be required in conjunction with HFE to regulate both intestinal iron absorption and iron storage in macrophages. Has strong antimicrobial activity against E.coli ML35P N.cinerea and weaker against S.epidermidis, S.aureus and group b streptococcus bacteria. Active against the fungus C.albicans. No activity against P.aeruginosa.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
Tissue specificity: Highest expression in liver and to a lesser extent in heart and brain. Low levels in lung, tonsils, salivary gland, trachea, prostate gland, adrenal gland and thyroid gland. Secreted into the urine.
Storage
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
Expiry Date
12 months after reconstitution
Shipping
This item will be shipped to you at ambient temperature in a lyophilised form.
