Beacon — frequently asked
What is beacon?
Beacon is a 73-residue peptide originally reported from the hypothalamus of the desert rodent Psammomys obesus. Its sequence corresponds to ubiquitin-like protein 5, a small and strongly conserved protein found across eukaryotic organisms.
Why is beacon researched?
Initial reports linked hypothalamic expression to body weight and feeding in a rodent model, prompting interest in energy balance. That proposed role is not firmly established, and separate work examines intracellular functions of the corresponding ubiquitin-like protein.
Which fragments are available?
The catalog offers full-length beacon (1-73) alongside truncated forms including (30-73) and (47-73), plus radioiodinated versions. Comparing fragments with the intact sequence helps identify which regions contribute to any measured activity.
