Target/Specificity | This HCRTR2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 275-304 amino acids from the Central region of human HCRTR2. |
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 | HCRTR2 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | HCRTR2 |
---|---|
Function | Nonselective, high-affinity receptor for both orexin-A and orexin-B neuropeptides (PubMed:26950369, PubMed:9491897). Triggers an increase in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels in response to orexin-A binding (PubMed:26950369, PubMed:9491897). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a G-protein coupled receptor involved in the regulation of feeding behavior. The encoded protein binds the hypothalamic neuropeptides orexin A and orexin B. A related gene (HCRTR1) encodes a G-protein coupled receptor that selectively binds orexin A.
