Anti-P2Y13 Receptor Antibody

FUNCTION: SwissProt: Q9BPV8 # Receptor for ADP. Coupled to G(i)-proteins. May play a role in hematopoiesis and the immune system.
SIZE: 333 amino acids; 38440 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Strong expression in spleen and adult brain. Lower expression in placenta, lung, liver, spinal cord, thymus, small intestine, uterus, stomach, testis, fetal brain, and adrenal gland. Not detected in pancreas, heart, kidney, skeletal muscle, ovary or fetal aorta. Clearly detected in lymph node and bone marrow, weakly detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL), but not detected in polymorphonuclear cells (PMN). In the brain, detected in all brain regions examined.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q9BPV8 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
MISCELLANEOUS: Stimulation by ADP in stably transfected CHO cells resulted in inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and the phosphorylation of the MAP kinases MAPK3 and MAPK1 in a pertussis toxin-sensitive way. Inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and phosphorylation of the MAP kinases are transduction mechanisms that involve G(i) proteins."

Purified peptide from amino acids 119-134 of human P2Y13

Western blot: 1:200 using ECL on rat brain membranes.

Immunohistochemistry on rat testis, paraffin embedded tissue.

Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%).

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA, and 0.05% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 200 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min).

Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 12 months after date of receipt. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Included free of charge with the antibody is 40 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of sterile deionized water. For negative control, preincubate 1 μg of peptide with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.

The immunogen sequence is 11 of 16 amino acids identical in mouse.
