HM74 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Developmental stage:Expression in neutrophils occurs in the late terminal differentiation phase., function:Acts as a high affinity receptor for both nicotinic acid (also known as niacin) and (D) -beta-hydroxybutyrate and mediates increased adiponectin secretion and decreased lipolysis through G (i) -protein-mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. This pharmacological effect requires nicotinic acid doses that are much higher than those provided by a normal diet. Mediates nicotinic acid-induced apoptosis in mature neutrophils. Receptor activation by nicotinic acid results in reduced cAMP levels which may affect activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A and phosphorylation of target proteins, leading to neutrophil apoptosis., miscellaneous:The rank order of potency for the displacement of nicotinic acid binding is 5-methyl pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid = pyridine-3-acetic acid > acifran > 5-methyl nicotinic acid = acipimox >> nicotinuric acid = nicotinamide., similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family., tissue specificity:Expression largely restricted to adipose tissue and spleen. Expressed on mature neutrophils but not on immature neutrophils or eosinophils., developmental stage:Expression in neutrophils occurs in the late terminal differentiation phase., function:Acts as a high affinity receptor for both nicotinic acid (also known as niacin) and (D) -beta-hydroxybutyrate and mediates increased adiponectin secretion and decreased lipolysis through G (i) -protein-mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase.
