Anti-Apelin Antibody

This polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets Apelin, a 77-amino-acid preproprotein that functions as the endogenous ligand for the APJ receptor (also called angiotensin receptor-like 1). Apelin signaling is implicated in cardiovascular regulation, angiogenesis, fluid homeostasis, and energy metabolism, making the target relevant to studies of heart function, vascular biology, and metabolic disease.

The reagent was raised in rabbit and is supplied as an unconjugated antiserum in a 100 µl vial, ready for downstream labeling or direct use in standard immunoassays. It has been validated for Western blot and ELISA applications and shows reactivity against Human, Mouse, and Rat Apelin, supporting cross-species experimental work in cell culture lysates and tissue homogenates. Researchers commonly use it to probe apelin expression in hypothalamic, cardiac, and adipose tissue samples.

For handling, aliquot upon receipt to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and store at -20 °C or colder for long-term stability of the polyclonal preparation.
