G protein-coupled receptor 151 (GPR151) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 5. It belongs to the A type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and it shows homology with galanin receptor 2 and 3. In mice, GPR151 transcript is highly and specifically expressed in habenular neurons.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human GPR151.
Immunogen Range: 370-419
Application
Anti-GPR151, C-Terminal antibody produced in rabbit has been used for Western blotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
G protein-coupled receptor 151 (GPR151) is a highly conserved protein, and acts as a potential target for psychiatric drug development, due to its expression in habenular neurons which may be critically involved in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders such as addiction and depression. Experimental studies reveal that GPR151 might play a neuroprotective and/or pro-regenerative role in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) after nerve injury.

Histamine receptors mediate important physiological processes and take part in the pathophysiology of different brain disorders. Histamine receptor 1 (HRH1) is involved in the development of neurotransmitter systems, and its role in neurogenesis has been proposed. Altered HRH1 binding and

G-protein coupled receptor 139 (GPR139) is an evolutionarily conserved orphan receptor, predominantly expressing in the habenula of vertebrate species. The habenula has recently been implicated in aversive response and its associated learning. Here, we tested the hypothesis that GPR139 signalling
Targeted disruption of the orphan receptor Gpr151 does not alter pain-related behaviour despite a strong induction in dorsal root ganglion expression in a model of neuropathic pain.

GPR151 is a G-protein coupled receptor for which the endogenous ligand remains unknown. In the nervous system of vertebrates, its expression is enriched in specific diencephalic structures, where the highest levels are observed in the habenular area. The habenula has
