Anti-Adiopokinetic Hormone (AKH) Antibody
This rabbit polyclonal antibody was generated against Drosophila melanogaster Adiopokinetic Hormone (AKH) and recognizes AKH from Drosophila melanogaster, Aedes aegypti, Anopheles gambiae, and Rhodnius prolixus.
Highlights:
- Positive results for immunocytochemistry to detect AKH in the nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster, Aedes aegypti, Anopheles gambiae, and Rhodnius prolixus.
- Suitable for Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry applications; Works fine for radioimmunoassay, not tested for enzyme immunoassay, and probably not suitable for western blots
Adiopokinetic Hormone (AKH) is a short peptide hormone that has been studied in insects. The neuropeptides that mobilize stored fuels for flight in insects, and thus, may regulate flight by mosquitoes that transmit pathogens of human diseases.
