Product Overview
Clone 17H56 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C (gene HTR2C) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 51.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 72 kDa.
The serotonin 2C receptor (5-HT2C, HTR2C) is a Gq/G11-coupled G protein-coupled receptor expressed mainly in the central nervous system. Its signaling through phospholipase C shapes neuronal activity in circuits that control appetite, mood and reward, and its transcript is notable for undergoing RNA editing that produces several receptor variants.
