Target:MRGX2
Gene Name:MRGPRX2 MRGX2
Protein Name:Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member X2
Human Gene Id:117194
Human Swiss Prot No:Q96LB1
Mouse Swiss Prot No:Q3UG50
Immunogen:Synthesized peptide derived from human protein . at AA range: 250-330
Specificity:MRGX2 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.
Formulation:Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.
Source:Polyclonal, Rabbit,IgG
Dilution:WB 1:500-2000 ELISA 1:5000-20000
Purification:The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Concentration:1 mg/ml
Storage Stability:-15°C to -25°C/1 year(Do not lower than -25°C)
Observed Band(KD):36kD
Background:function:Orphan receptor. Probably involved in the function of nociceptive neurons. May regulate nociceptor function and/or development, including the sensation or modulation of pain. Cortistatin-14 seems to be a high potency ligand at this receptor. Cortistatin has several biological functions including roles in sleep regulation locomotor activity, and cortical function. In receptor-expressing cells, cortistatin-stimulated increases in intracellular Ca(2+) but had no effect on basal or forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels, suggesting that this receptor is G(q)-coupled.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Mas subfamily.,tissue specificity:Has a limited expression profile, both peripheral and within the central nervous system, with highest levels in dorsal root ganglion.,

Subcellular Location:Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein .
Expression:Mainly expressed in mast cells. Has a limited expression profile, both peripheral and within the central nervous system, with highest levels in dorsal root ganglion (PubMed:12915402). Detected in blood vessels, scattered lymphocytes, and gastrointestinal ganglia (at protein level) (PubMed:16161007).
