Anti-G-protein coupled receptor 15 GPR15 Antibody

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and related viruses require coreceptors to infect target cells. Some G protein-coupled receptors including CCR5, CXCR4, CCR3, CCR2b and CCR8 in the chemokine receptor family, and four other molecules GPR15, STRL33, GPR1 and V28 were recently identified as HIV coreceptors. GPR15, also known as BOB, is a G protein-coupled receptor that serves as coreceptor for the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), and for strains of HIV-2 and M-tropic HIV-1.

GPR15 antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 16 amino acids near the amino terminus of human GPR15. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of GPR15.

Acts as a CEBPB coactivator in mammary epithelial cells to control the expression of a subset of CEBPB downstream target genes, including ID2, IGF1, PRLR, SOCS1, SOCS3, XDH, but not casein. By interacting with CEBPB, strengthens the association of CEBPB with the XDH promoter, increases histone acetylation and dissociates HDAC1 from the promoter (By similarity) . Binds to lipid droplets and regulates their enlargement, thereby restricting lipolysis and favoring storage. At focal contact sites between lipid droplets, promotes directional net neutral lipid transfer from the smaller to larger lipid droplets. The transfer direction may be driven by the internal pressure difference between the contacting lipid droplet pair and occurs at a lower rate than that promoted by CIDEC. When overexpressed, induces apoptosis. The physiological significance of its role in apoptosis is unclear.

GPR15 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
