Anti-Parathyroid Hormone Receptor Type 2 (PTH Receptor 2, PTHR2, Parathyroid Hormone 2 Receptor, PTH

This is a specific receptor for parathyroid hormone. The activity of this receptor is mediated by g proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. PTHR2 may be responsible for PTH effects in a number of physiological systems. It may play a significant role in pancreatic function. PTHR2 presence in neurons indicates that it may function as a neurotransmitter receptor. SUBUNIT: Binds to TIPF39/TIP39. Cellular Localization: Membrane, multi-pass membrane protein. Tissue Specificity: Abundantly expressed in brain, arterial and cardiac endothelium. Found as well in sperm, in the head of the epididymis. Lower expression is found in vascular smooth muscle, exocrine pancreas, testis and placenta. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
