Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
purinergic receptor P2Y8(P2RY8) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors, that are preferentially activated by adenosine and uridine nucleotides. This gene is moderately expressed in undifferentiated HL60 cells, and is located on both chromosomes X and Y. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Probable receptor for purines coupled to G-proteins.,induction:Down-regulated during granulocytic regulation.,miscellaneous:The gene encoding for this protein is located in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) of X and Y chromosomes.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Barely detectable in normal blood leukocytes. Weaker expression was seen in heart, kidney and lung. Not detected in brain.,
