PEP-064 is a 10 amino acid synthetic phospho-peptide whose sequence corresponds to residues 24-33 of rat AA-NAT. The sequence of this peptide is (amino to carboxy terminus): C24-Q-R-R-H-T (P)-L-P-A-S33
This peptide may be used for neutralization and control experiments with the polyclonal antibody that reacts with this product and Phospho-Thr29 AA-NAT, catalog # PA1-761. Using a solution of peptide of equal volume and concentration to the corresponding antibody will yield a large molar excess of peptide (~70-fold) for competitive inhibition of antibody-protein binding reactions.

Arylalkylamine N-Acetyltransferase (AANAT) is the penultimate enzyme is melatonin synthesis. Hormonal melatonin has been implicated in sleep and circadian clock function. Large changes in the abundance of AANAT are believed to be responsible for the large day/night rhythms in melatonin synthesis in the pineal gland and retina. Most research shows that AANAT activity is regulated by controlling the steady-state levels of the protein. Recent research, however, suggests that another mechanism may also play a role in controlling melatonin production without altering AANAT protein and activity. This mechanism may explain the sudden physiological increase in circulating melatonin observed at the onset of the dark period in humans.
