Purification
This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This MTNR1A antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 209-239 amino acids from the Central region of human MTNR1A.
MTNR1A encodes one of two high affinity forms of a receptor for melatonin, the primary hormone secreted by the pineal gland. This receptor is a G-protein coupled, 7-transmembrane receptor that is responsible for melatonin effects on mammalian circadian rhythm and reproductive alterations affected by day length. The receptor is an integral membrane protein that is readily detectable and localized to two specific regions of the brain. The hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus appears to be involved in circadian rhythm while the hypophysial pars tuberalis may be responsible for the reproductive effects of melatonin.
