Anti-Prothoracicotropic Hormone (PTTH) (FITC)

PTTH is a brain secretory polypeptide of insects which stimulates the prothoracic glands to produce and release ecdysone, the steroid essential to insect development. Peptides P2K and P6K are presumed to be cleaved post-translationally and may play some unknown physiologically or developmentally important functions. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. , Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
