Target/Specificity | This VIPR2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 95-123 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human VIPR2. |
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 | VIPR2 Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | VIPR2 (HGNC:12695) |

Synonyms | VIP2R |
Function | G protein-coupled receptor activated by the neuropeptides vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase- activating polypeptide (ADCYAP1/PACAP) (PubMed:7811244, PubMed:35477937, PubMed:8933357). Binds VIP and both PACAP27 and PACAP38 bioactive peptides with the following order of potency PACAP38 = VIP > PACAP27 (PubMed:35477937, PubMed:8933357). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors. Activates cAMP-dependent pathway (PubMed:7811244, PubMed:35477937, PubMed:8933357). May be coupled to phospholipase C. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed in CD4+ T-cells, but not in CD8+ T-cells. Expressed in the T-cell lines Jurkat, Peer, MOLT-4, HSB, YT and SUP-T1, but not in the T-cell lines HARRIS and HuT 78 |

Background
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP; MIM 192320) and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP; MIM 102980) are homologous peptides that function as neurotransmitters and neuroendocrine hormones. While the receptors for VIP and PACAP share homology, they differ in their substrate specificities and expression patterns. See VIPR1 (MIM 192321) and ADCYAP1R1(MIM 102981).
