Bio-Rad, AHP378, Leumorphin antibody

Rabbit anti Leumorphin antibody recognizes rat leumorphin, also known as dynorphin B29. Leumorphin is a 28 amino acid opioid peptide resulting from cleavage of proenkephalin-B. Leumorphin positive cells are found in the paraventricular, supraoptic nucleus and fibres in the lateral hypothalamus of colchicine treated rat brain ( Neal & Newman 1989 ). Leumorphin has been reported to exert anti-apoptotic effects in rat PC12 pheochromocytoma cells ( Lee et al. 2005 ). Rabbit anti leumorphin has been used successfully to detect leumorphin in murine brain using immunohistochemistry on cryostat sections.( Zhang et al. 2005 ).
