Validation Data Gallery

• 

  WB analysis using 26781-1-AP

  Various lysates were subjected to SDS PAGE followed by western blot with 26781-1-AP (VGF antibody) at dilution of 1:1000 incubated at room temperature for 1.5 hours.

• 

  IP experiment of U2OS using 26781-1-AP

  U2OS lysates prepared and IP of VGF performed using 1.0 μg of 26781-1-AP coupled to protein A- Sepharose beads. The Ponceau stained transfers of each blot are shown. Data provided by YCharOS, an open science company with a mission to validate commercial antibodies to improve scientific reproducibility and transparency.

Background Information

VGF encodes a neuropeptide precursor with specific expression in a subpopulation of neuroendocrine cells, and it is upregulated by nerve growth factor. The expression of VGF is developmentally regulated in different areas of the brain (PubMed: 18406753). Exercise upregulated expression of VGF in mouse hippocampus, and a synthetic Vgf-derived peptide produced an antidepressant response in mice (PubMed: 18059283). VGF can be detected the precursor form of 90 kDa before proteolytic cleavage (PMID:24934694, PMID:10433233).
