Other Names | 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 4, 5-HT-4, 5-HT4, Serotonin receptor 4, HTR4 |
Target/Specificity | This HTR4 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 1-30 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human HTR4. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | HTR4 Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | HTR4 (HGNC:5299) |
---|---|
Function | G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone and a mitogen (PubMed:10821780, PubMed:16102731, PubMed:35714614, PubMed:9603189). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors (PubMed:16102731, PubMed:35714614). HTR4 is coupled to G(s) G alpha proteins and mediates activation of adenylate cyclase activity (PubMed:16102731, PubMed:35714614). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endosome membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97288}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Interaction with SNX27 mediates recruitment to early endosomes, while interaction with NHERF1 and EZR might target the protein to specialized subcellular regions, such as microvilli. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97288} |
Tissue Location | [Isoform 5-HT4(A)]: Expressed in ileum, brain, and atrium, but not in the ventricle. [Isoform 5-HT4(I)]: Expressed in all cardiovascular tissues analyzed. |

Background
This gene is a member of the family of serotonin receptors, which are G protein coupled receptors that stimulate cAMP production in response to serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine). The gene product is a glycosylated transmembrane protein that functions in both the peripheral and central nervous system to modulate the release of various neurotransmitters. Multiple transcript variants encoding proteins with distinct C-terminal sequences have been described.
