Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

FUNCTION: SwissProt: P49286 # High affinity receptor for melatonin. Likely to mediates the reproductive and circadian actions of melatonin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity.
SIZE: 362 amino acids; 40188 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in retina and less in brain and hippocampus.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P49286 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Anwendung

Radioligand binding assay and GTPγS binding

Physikalische Form

Liquid in packaging buffer: 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 10% glycerol and 1% BSA with no preservatives.
Packaging method: Membranes protein were adjusted to 1 mg/mL in packaging buffer, and dispensed at 1 mL/vial. Vials were rapidly frozen, and stored at -80°C.

Lagerung und Haltbarkeit

Maintain frozen at -70°C for up to 2 years. Do not freeze and thaw.

Hinweis zur Analyse

Membranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, an FC 96-well harvest plate (Millipore cat. # MAHF C1H) is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.

Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM CaCl₂, filtered and stored at 4°C
Radioligand: [¹²⁵I] Iodomelatonin (Perkin Elmer#: NEX-236)
Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl, filtered and stored at 4°C.
One package contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where a unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 6-fold signal:background with [¹²⁵I]-labeled Iodomelatonin at 0.2 nM
