Product Specifications

Background

Relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor 2, also known as RXFP2, is a human G-protein coupled receptor. It is mapped to 13q13.1. This gene encodes a member of the GPCR (G protein-coupled, 7-transmembrane receptor) family. Mutations in this gene are associated with cryptorchidism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Synonyms

Relaxin receptor 2; G-protein coupled receptor 106; G-protein coupled receptor affecting testicular descent; Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 8; Relaxin family peptide receptor 2; RXFP2; GPR106; GREAT; LGR8

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Expressed mainly in the brain, kidney, muscle, testis, thyroid, uterus, peripheral blood cells and bone marrow.

Applications

Flow Cytometry,WB

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

Receptor for relaxin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins leading to stimulation of adenylate cyclase and an increase of cAMP. May also be a receptor for Leydig insulin-like peptide (INSL3).

Components

Each vial contains 4mg Trehalose, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg NaN3.
