The receptor belongs to the super family of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs)1.The N-terminus of human GPR34 has three putative N-glycosylation sites (NXS\/T), and the C-terminus has a cysteine residue which is palmitoylated in many GPCRs. GPR34 contains several putative phosphorylation sites primed by a serine or threonine in the C-terminus2.GPR34 is highly expressed in immune cells such as mast cells, macrophages, microglia, and immune system-derived cell lines (HL-60, K562, WEHI-3B, RAW 264.7, P815).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eComparing target expression across perturbations, genotypes, or treatment conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eInterpreting localization shifts alongside pathway or phenotypic readouts.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUsing orthogonal controls (KO\/KD, peptide competition, isotype concepts) to support conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eFlow cytometry (direct\/indirect): quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression across subsets.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO\/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIsoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePermeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eConceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProvided control suggestions: Negative control: RIC-001-F.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eApplication notes: see product-specific dilution\/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication abbreviations:\u003c\/strong\u003e CBE- Cell-based ELISA, FC- Flow cytometry, ICC- Immunocytochemistry, IE- Indirect ELISA, IF- Immunofluorescence, IFC- Indirect flow cytometry, IHC- Immunohistochemistry, IP- Immunoprecipitation, LCI- Live cell imaging, N- Neutralization, WB- Western blot. \u003cstrong\u003eSpecies abbreviations:\u003c\/strong\u003e H- Human, M- Mouse, R- Rat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blocking peptide: BLP-GR055; Negative control: RIC-001-F.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - Alomone Labs product page scientific background (as provided in this catalog row) - UniProt Knowledgebase (target-level reference) - NCBI Gene (target-level reference) - General antibody validation principles (KO\/KD, peptide competition, isotype control concepts) --\u003e","brand":"Alomone Labs","offers":[{"title":"15 mcl \/ 1","offer_id":53064830517613,"sku":"AGR-055-F-15MCL-1","price":597.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 mcl \/ 1","offer_id":53064902738285,"sku":"AGR-055-F-50MCL-1","price":797.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 mcl \/ 2","offer_id":53064902771053,"sku":"AGR-055-F-50MCL-2","price":1397.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 mcl \/ 5","offer_id":53064902803821,"sku":"AGR-055-F-50MCL-5","price":2743.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 mcl \/ 10","offer_id":53064902836589,"sku":"AGR-055-F-50MCL-10","price":3764.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/AGR-055-F_gr_1.gif?v=1772460986","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/anti-gpr34-extracellular-fitc-antibody-bha21300476","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
