The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
This gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) which belongs to the rhodopsin family of GPRs. The encoded protein functions as a receptor for free fatty acids, including omega-3, and participates in suppressing anti-inflammatory responses and insulin sensitizing. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012],
Function
function:Receptor for unsaturated long-chain free fatty acid (FAA). Binding of the ligand promotes the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 from the gastro-intestinal tract.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Abundant expression in the intestinal tract.,
Protein name
Omega-3 fatty acid receptor 1
Other name
O3FAR1; GPR120; GPR129; PGR4; Omega-3 fatty acid receptor 1; G-protein coupled receptor 120; G-protein coupled receptor 129; G-protein coupled receptor GT01; G-protein coupled receptor PGR4

Cellular localization
[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Endosome membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Lysosome membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Sorted to late endosome/lysosome compartments upon internalization. .; [Isoform 2]: Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Endosome membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Lysosome membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell projection, cilium membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Sorted to late endosome/lysosome compartments upon internalization (PubMed:22282525). Specifically localizes to the primary cilium of undifferentiated adipocytes. Ciliary trafficking is TULP3-dependent. As the cilium is lost during adipogenesis, moves to the plasma membrane (Probable). .
Tissue expression
[Isoform 2]: The predominant isoform in human tissues. Expressed in adipose tissue, pancreatic islets, lung and brain. Expressed in alpha cells of pancreatic islets (PubMed:24742677). Expressed in primary cilia of perivascular preadipocytes of white adipose tissue (at protein level) (PubMed:31761534). ; Abundant expression in the intestinal tract. Expressed in colonic intraepithelial neuroendocrine cells.
