AgRP/ART Luminex Assays

Agouti-related Protein (AgRP), also known as the protein product of the Agouti-related Transcript (ART), is a neuropeptide and a functional antagonist of alpha-MSH on Melanocortin (MC)-3 and MC-4 receptors, both of which are implicated in obesity. AgRP shares sequence and structural similarity with the Agouti protein and has similar expression patterns in both mouse and human.
