Other Names | Glycoprotein hormone beta-5, Thyrostimulin subunit beta, GPHB5, GPB5, ZLUT1 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP13233b was selected from the C-term region of GPHB5. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | GPHB5 |
---|---|
Synonyms | GPB5, ZLUT1 |
Function | Functions as a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone with GPHA2 able to bind and activate the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), leading to increased cAMP production. Plays a central role in controlling thyroid cell metabolism. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in brain and at low levels in pituitary. Also found in retina, testis and skin but not in pancreas, parotid, kidney, stomach, liver, colon, small intestine, thyroid, brain or adrenal gland. In pituitary, colocalizes with ACTH, suggesting that it is located in corticotrophs. |
