GPR26 Polyclonal Antibody, PerCP Conjugated

G protein-coupled receptors (GPRs) are a protein family of transmembrane receptors that transmit an extracellular signal (ligand binding) into an intracellular signal (G protein activation) . GPR signaling is an ancient evolutionarily mechanism used by all eukaryotes to sense environmental stimuli and mediate cell-cell communication. GPRs have seven membrane-spanning domains and the extracellular domains are often glycosylated. These extracellular loops also contain two highly conserved cysteine residues which create disulfide bonds to stabilize the receptor structure. GPR26 (G-protein coupled receptor 26) is a 337 amino acid protein that is primarily expressed in regions of the brain. GPR26 is characterized as an orphan? G protein-coupled receptor, which is a receptor that binds an unidentified natural ligand. Due to evidence of GPR26 being downregulated in glioblastomas, it has been suggested that GPR26 may be a suppressor of early glioma development.
