- Listed applications: WB, IHC-P, IF (refer to on-page specifications for application-specific guidance).
Biological background
Natriuretic peptide receptor C / NPRC is a receptor protein found in various tissues, including the heart, kidney, and blood vessels. Its main function is to bind to natriuretic peptides, which are hormones that help regulate blood pressure and fluid balance. When natriuretic peptides bind to Natriuretic peptide receptor C, they are degraded and their effects are blocked, leading to an increase in blood pressure. Natriuretic peptide receptor C also plays a role in the development of heart failure. Research has shown that increased levels of NPRC in the body can lead to impaired responses to natriuretic peptides, which in turn can contribute to the progression of heart failure. In addition to its role in cardiovascular health, NPRC has also been implicated in other diseases, such as obesity and diabetes. Studies have shown that NPRC levels are elevated in patients with these conditions, suggesting a potential link between Natriuretic peptide receptor C and metabolic disorders.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).
- Subcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.
- Integration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Immunohistochemistry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Immunofluorescence: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
Interpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and PTMs: many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands/signals accordingly.
- Epitope context: binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.
- Species differences: predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.
- Control concepts: include negative controls (no-primary/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.
