Figure 2. Detection of kisspeptin receptor protein in rat, mouse and human heart.

Figure 2

Western blot analysis of rabbit anti-kisspeptin receptor (230–244, rat/mouse) serum on membrane preparations of (A) rat (n = 3) and (B) mouse (n = 3) heart revealed a single band of the expected size, 43 kDa or 75 kDa respectively (lanes 1–3). Pre-absorption of the primary antibody with the immunizing peptide resulted in attenuation of the bands (lanes 4–6). (C) Human left ventricle (n = 4) was probed with rabbit anti-kisspeptin receptor (375–398, human) (lanes 1–4) producing a band at 42 kDa, the expected size, which was attenuated when the primary antibody was pre-absorbed with the immunizing peptide (lanes 5–8). Protein marker positions are shown alongside the blots.
