Target/Specificity | The immunogen is after amino acid 577 of O15240, so the antibody should only cross-react with full-length VGF and none of the processed peptides. |
Reconstitution & Storage | Short term 4°C, long term aliquot and store at -20°C, avoid freeze thaw cycles. Store undiluted. |
Precautions | VGF Antibody (C-Terminus) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | VGF |

Function | [Neurosecretory protein VGF]: Secreted polyprotein that is packaged and proteolytically processed by prohormone convertases PCSK1 and PCSK2 in a cell-type-specific manner (By similarity). VGF and peptides derived from its processing play many roles in neurogenesis and neuroplasticity associated with learning, memory, depression and chronic pain (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | [Neurosecretory protein VGF]: Secreted. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle. Note=Stored in secretory vesicles and then secreted, NERP peptides colocalize with vasopressin in the storage granules of hypothalamus |
Tissue Location | Central and peripheral nervous systems, synthesized exclusively in neuronal and neuroendocrine cells |
