General description

Free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFAR2), also known as G-protein coupled receptor 43 (GPR43), functions as the cell membrane receptor for short chain fatty acids that ultimately stimulates G protein coupled, inhibitory (Gi) signals via the adenylate cyclase pathway. FFAR2/GPR43 is found expressed in leukocytes in the lamina propria of the small intestine mostly but some expression can be also be found in splenocytes, adipose tissue, and enteroendocrine cells of the gut. Interesting, FFAR2/GPR43 because it senses short chain fatty acids which are often key metabolites of gut microbiota, it may serve as a biological sensor to regulate the activity of regulatory T cells and the immune response in diseases such as colitis.

This Anti-FFAR2 Antibody/GPR43 is validated for use in Western Blotting and Immunohistochemistry for the detection of FFAR2/GPR43.
Western Blotting Analysis: 1.0 µg/mL from a representative lot detected FFAR2/GPR43 in 10 µg of RAW264.7 cell lysate.
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a representative lot detected FFAR2/GPR43 in mouse kidney and mouse liver tissue.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in CHEM-1 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 1.0 µg/mL of this antibody detected FFAR2/GPR43 in 10 µg of CHEM-1 cell lysate.

Target description

~47 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight of this protein is 37 kDa, but can be observed at ~47 kDa due to high glycosylation. Uncharacterized band(s) may appear in some lysates.

Physical form

Affinity purified
Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl with 0.05% sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Microbiome-derived metabolites influence intestinal homeostasis and regulate graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), but the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here we show the metabolite sensor G-protein-coupled receptor 43 (GPR43) is important for attenuation of gastrointestinal GVHD in multiple clinically relevant murine models. GPR43
