The receptors are ligand binding factors of type 1, 2 or 3 and protein-molecules that receive chemical-signals from outside a cell
When such chemical-signals couple or bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue-response, e.g
a change in the electrical-activity of a cell
In this sense, am olfactory receptor is a protein-molecule that recognizes and responds to endogenous-chemical signals, chemokinesor cytokines e.g
an acetylcholine-receptor recognizes and responds to its endogenous-ligand, acetylcholine
However, sometimes in pharmacology, the term is also used to include other proteins that are drug-targets, such as enzymes, transporters and ion-channels.
Properties
E05 478 566 350 170 or Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays,E05 478 566 350 170 or Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays,Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies
Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens)
Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species
Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
Gene
Human or mouse Leptin (from Greek λεπτός leptos, "thin") the "satiety hormone", is a hormone made by adipose cells that helps to regulate energy balance by inhibiting hunger
Leptin is opposed by the actions of the hormone ghrelin, the "hunger hormone"
Both hormones act on receptors in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus to regulate appetite to achieve energy homeostasis
ELISA kits and peptides and antibodies are available.
Sample Types
serum, blood, plasma, saliva, urine, and other related tissue liquid
