Cayman CB1 Receptor (C-Term) Blocking Peptide

To be used in conjunction with Cayman’s CB₁ Receptor (C-Term) polyclonal antibody (Item No. ) to block protein-antibody complex formation during immunochemical analysis of CB₁ · The CB₁ receptor is a g-protein coupled receptor that binds the active component of cannabis, Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol.^, Human and rat CB₁ receptors exhibit 97.3% homology at the amino acid level over the complete protein, and 100% homology within the peptide sequence used to make the Cayman CB₁ Receptor polyclonal antibody (Item No. ).^, This peptide exhibits no homology with the CB₂ receptor. Based on the amino acid sequence, the CB₁ receptor has a molecular weight of approximately 52,800. The CB₁ receptor and the splice variant CB1a are localized mainly in the brain whereas the CB₂ receptor is localized predominantly in peripheral tissues, including the spleen and hematopoietic cells.^,,,
