This is a synthetic peptide designed for use in combination with anti-VGF antibody (Catalog #: ARP42127_P050). It may block above mentioned antibody from binding to its target protein in western blot and/or immunohistochecmistry under proper experimental settings. There is no guarantee for its use in other applications.
VGF is specifically expressed in a subpopulation of neuroendocrine cells, and is upregulated by nerve growth factor. It also shares similarities with the secretogranin/chromogranin family, however, its exact function is not known.This gene is specifically expressed in a subpopulation of neuroendocrine cells, and is upregulated by nerve growth factor. The structural organization of this gene is similar to that of the rat gene, and both the translated and the untranslated regions show a high degree of sequence similarity to the rat gene. The encoded secretory protein also shares similarities with the secretogranin/chromogranin family, however, its exact function is not known.
