Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human P2RY5, which shares 92.3% and 89.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat P2RY5, respectively.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 39 kDa; calculated MW: 101272 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
N-alpha-acetyltransferase 15, NatA auxiliary subunit; lysophosphatidic acid receptor 6. Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 6 also known as LPA6, P2RY5, and GPR87, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LPAR6 gene. 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 aligns with an internal intron of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene in the reverse orientation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Functional note: Binds to oleoyl-L-alpha-lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Intracellular cAMP is involved in the receptor activation. Important for the maintenance of hair growth and texture. Reported localization: Cell membrane. Expression/tissue context: Expressed ubiquitously, including in skin and hair follicle cells. Detected in both Henle's and Huxley's layers of the inner root sheath of the hair follicle and in suprabasal layers of the epidermis (at protein level). Expressed at low levels in peripheral blood leukocytes.
