β-Endorphins, β-END* Rabbit 1:2,000 Dr. Allen, USA
Cytochrome P-450 side-chain-cleavage, P450scc Rabbit 1:1,000 Prof. Robert Tuckey, Univ. of Western Australia
Glucocorticoid receptor, GR (sc-8992) Rabbit 1:500 Santa Cruz Biotech., USA

*

In general, cross-reactivity of antibodies against β-END and ACTH with noncorresponding POMC peptides has been reported to be <1% (1, 33, 40). Anti CRH antibody had very low cross-reactivity to other hypothalamic peptides (25).
