Overview
Anti-P2Y12 Receptor (extracellular)-FITC Antibody is an antibody targeting P2Y purinoceptor 12, P2RY12, ADP-glucose receptor, Platelet ADP receptor, HORK3 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)). This antibody is commonly used in FC, LCI to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: P2Y purinoceptor 12, P2RY12, ADP-glucose receptor, Platelet ADP receptor, HORK3 (also reported as P2Y purinoceptor 12, P2RY12, ADP-glucose receptor, Platelet ADP receptor, HORK3).
- Immunogen/epitope region: 3rd extracellular loop.
- Homology note: Rat, mouse - 12/13 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat.
- Cited use: FC (literature use does not guarantee performance in every setup).
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #APR-020), and direct flow cytometry (labeled antibody)..
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
The P2Y receptors are a widely expressed group of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). P2Y receptors are activated by nucleotides which are extracellular signaling molecules that are released from damaged cells or secreted via non-lytic mechanisms during inflammation, ischemia or hypoxia.P2Y12 receptor, like all P2Y receptors, is a 7-membrane spanning protein coupled to a G protein. Most of the seven transmembrane helices of P2YR12 are not perpendicular to the plane of the membrane but are tilted or kinked.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparing target expression across perturbations, genotypes, or treatment conditions.
- Interpreting localization shifts alongside pathway or phenotypic readouts.
- Using orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, isotype concepts) to support conclusions.
Common research applications
- Flow cytometry (direct/indirect): quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression across subsets.
- Live cell imaging (LCI): support extracellular-epitope detection on non-permeabilized cells when appropriate.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: RIC-001-F.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
