Alternative NamesParathyroid hormone receptor; PTH2 receptor; Pthr2;
Application(s)WB
Antibody HostRabbit
Antibody TypePolyclonal
SpecificitySpecificity has been shown by western blot. A band of 63 kDa corresponding to the theoretical molecular weight of Parathyroid hormone receptor is easily detectable by WB. Absorption of the antiserum with the immunising peptide abolished the binding of the antibody to the target hence detectability of the band. This antibody is known to react with rat Parathyroid hormone receptor.
Species ReactivityRat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (RQIDSHVTLPGYVWSSSEQDC) of rat Parathyroid hormone receptor protein (aa: 481-501) conjugated to KLH has been used as the immunogen.
Application DetailsWB. A dilution of 1:500 to 1:1000 is recommended. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Reconstitution InstructionsSpin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 100 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
Storage InstructionsAfter reconstitution keep aliquots at -20°C for a higher stability, and at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.
Batch NumberPlease see item label.
Expiration Date12 months after date of receipt (unopened vial).
Alternative NamesParathyroid hormone receptor; PTH2 receptor; Pthr2;
Scientific BackgroundFUNCTION: This is a specific receptor for parathyroid hormone. The activity of this receptor is mediated by g proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. PTHR2 may be responsible for PTH effects in a number of physiological systems. It may play a significant role in pancreatic function. PTHR2 presence in neurons indicates that it may function as a neurotransmitter receptor. SUBUNIT: Binds to TIPF39/TIP39. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Abundantly expressed in brain, arterial and cardiac endothelium. Found as well in sperm, in the head of the epididymis. Lower expression is found in vascular smooth muscle, exocrine pancreas, testis and placenta. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family.
Western blot analysis of rat brain using Rabbit antibody to PTH2 receptor (481-501): whole serum (catalogue no. R-120-100) isolated a major band of 63 kDa corresponding to the theoretical molecular weight of Parathyroid hormone receptor.
