Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human GPR18. AA range:191-240
Specificity
GPR18 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of GPR18 protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/100 - 1/300. Immunofluorescence: 1/200 - 1/1000. ELISA: 1/5000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
function:Receptor for N-arachidonyl glycine. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. May contribute to regulation of the immune system.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Most abundant in testis and spleen. Highly expressed in CD4 and CD8-positive T-cells as well as CD19-positive B-cells.,
