HeLa cells were subjected to SDS PAGE followed by western blot with FNab09291(UCN antibody) at dilution of 1:300
Background
Urocortin is a member of the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family that includes CRF, urotensin I, sauvagine, urocortin II and urocortin III. . Urocortin is a potent anorexigenic peptide that induces fed-like motor activity when administered centrally or peripherally in fasted animals. Urocortin is also a potent and long-lasting hypotensive agent and increases coronary blood flow. Urocortin acts in vitro to stimulate the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH) and binds with high affinity to CRF receptor types 1, 2-alpha, and 2-beta. Urocortin is synthesized as precursor, which is subsequently processed to the mature biologically active peptide(a 40-amino acid Molecule).
