ARRB2 Antibody

Members of arrestin/beta-arrestin protein family are thought to participate in agonist-mediated desensitization of G-protein-coupled receptors and cause specific dampening of cellular responses to stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, or sensory signals. ARRB2, like arrestin beta 1, was shown to inhibit beta-adrenergic receptor function in vitro. It is expressed at high levels in the central nervous system and may play a role in the regulation of synaptic receptors. Besides the brain, a cDNA for arrestin beta 2 was isolated from thyroid gland, and thus it may also be involved in hormone-specific desensitization of TSH receptors.Members of arrestin/beta-arrestin protein family are thought to participate in agonist-mediated desensitization of G-protein-coupled receptors and cause specific dampening of cellular responses to stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, or sensory signals.

Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been defined.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store ARRB2 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

ARRB2 antibody can be used for detection of ARRB2 by ELISA at 1:312500. ARRB2 antibody can be used for detection of ARRB2 by western blot at 1.0 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
