Immunogen
Synthesized peptide derived from human protein . at AA range: 190-270
Specificity
NPY6R Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
WB 1:500-2000 ELISA 1:5000-20000
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
caution:Could be the product of a pseudogene. According to PubMed:97066888, PubMed:97066971 and PubMed:9013614, the human NPY6R gene is an expressed pseudogene containing a premature stop codon and encoding a non-functional truncated protein missing the last transmembrane domain. A single base pair deletion relative to the mouse ortholog, results in a truncated protein lacking the seventh transmembrane domain.,function:When expressed, is unable to bind pancreatic polypeptide (PP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), or peptide YY (PYY), suggesting that either it is functionally inactive or that it may have acquired a pancreatic polypeptide-independent function.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, gastrointestinal tissues, spleen, brain and adrenal glands.,
