Anti-GPR171

function:Orphan receptor.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family., Protein function: G-protein coupled receptor for Big LEN, a 16-amino acid neuropeptide produced from the precursor protein, proSAAS (encoded by PCSK1N). Acts through a G(i)-alpha-mediated pathway in response to Big LEN. Big LEN-GPR171 system plays an important role in regulating feeding and metabolism. Also plays a role in modulating fear and anxiety-like behaviors in the basolateral amygdala. Big LEN-GPR171 modulates the mu-type opioid receptor signaling and antinociception. Acts as a negative regulator T cell function (PubMed:34615877). [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunofluorescence: 1/200 - 1/1000. ELISA: 1/10000.
