Reference sheet · Neuropeptides · CPC catalog code AGOU-002
Reference standards in the Neuropeptides class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.
Agouti-related Protein (AGRP) (87-132) human, acetyl sits within the Neuropeptides research class (CPC reference AGOU-002). Neuropeptides bind GPCRs expressed on central and peripheral neurons — modulating cAMP, calcium, and β-arrestin signaling to shape neurotransmission, network excitability, and behavior. Investigators typically incorporate Agouti-related Protein (AGRP) (87-132) human, acetyl as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Radioligand binding, cAMP HTRF, calcium mobilization, and in vivo behavior assays.
Agouti-related Protein (AGRP) (87-132) human, acetyl (CPC catalog code AGOU-002) is a synthetic neuropeptide receptor ligand in the neuropeptides category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.
Published and internal research programs use Agouti-related Protein (AGRP) (87-132) human, acetyl as a reference standard in neuropeptides workflows — for example, gpcr receptor-binding and functional profiling and behavioral pharmacology (rodent models). Human clinical evidence is not established.
No. Agouti-related Protein (AGRP) (87-132) human, acetyl is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.
In a neuropeptides workflow, Agouti-related Protein (AGRP) (87-132) human, acetyl is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Radioligand binding, cAMP HTRF, calcium mobilization, and in vivo behavior assays.
Other reference standards in the same class — commonly cross-referenced during assay design and comparator selection.
