Overview
Anti-P2Y14 (extracellular)-FITC Antibody is an antibody targeting P2Y purinoceptor 14, P2RY14, GPR105, UDP-glucose receptor 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 14, P2RY14, GPR105, UDP-glucose receptor (also reported as P2Y purinoceptor 14, P2RY14, GPR105, UDP-glucose receptor).
- Immunogen/epitope region: 2nd extracellular loop.
- Homology note: Rat, mouse - 15 out of 17 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #APR-018), 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.
- Conjugate/format: Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) (may affect detection channel and background).
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
P2Y14 belongs to the P2Y receptor family that is part of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. To date, eight functional mammalian P2Y receptors have been identified: P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, P2Y11, P2Y12, P2Y13 and P2Y14.The P2Y receptor family mediates the effects of extracellular nucleotides such as ATP, ADP, UTP, and in the case of P2Y14, UDP-glucose. UDP-glucose, as with the other nucleotides, can be released to the extracellular milieu as the result of cell damage or by regulated non-lytic mechanisms.P2Y14 is expressed in several tissues including the brain, lung and several cells of hematopoietic origin such as T lymphocytes and dendritic cells.The exact function of this receptor in the different tissues has not been clearly established but an involvement in chemotaxis, maturation of immature dendritic cells and neuroimmune regulation has been suggested.
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.
