Descrizione

Descrizione generale

Oxytocin receptor (UniProt P97926; also known as OT-R) is encoded by the Oxtr (also known as Otr) gene (Gene ID 18430) in murine species. Oxytocin receptor (OT-R) is widely expressed in the reproductive tract, brain, kidneys, and many other organs, where it mediates the biological functions of oxytocin (OT) in mammals. Best known for their role in lactation and parturition, OT-R and OT meidate a wide variety of physiological functions, including estrous cycle, bone formation, social behaviors, as well as regulation of energy homeostasis, including food intake and thermoregulation. Central administration of OT decreases food consumption in rats, and nesfatin (a satiety hormone) increases OT secretion. Oxt-null and Oxtr-null mice display aberrant thermoregulatory function. In addition, Oxtr-knockout mice have a morphological defect in brown adipose tissue (BAT) cells and develop obesity. Human and murine oxytocin receptors are 7-transmembrane (a.a. 39-63, 75-97, 114-135, 155-175, 203-225, 275-293, 309-331) GPCRs with their N-terminal end at the extracellular side (a.a. 1-38) and C-terminal end at the cytoplasmic side (human a.a. 332-389 and mouse a.a. 332-388).

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected oxytocin receptor in 10 µg of A431, HEK293, HeLa, Jurkat, MCF-7, and Raji membrane extracts.

Immunofluorescence Analysis: A 1:1000 dilution from a representative lot detected oxytocin receptor immunoreactivity in wild-type, but not Oxtr-knockout, mouse frozen brain tissue sections (Courtesy of Dr. Moses V. Chao, Langone Medical Center, New York University, U.S.A).

Qualità

Evaluated by Western Blotting in human uterus.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:500 dilution of this antibody detected oxytocin receptor in 10 µg of human uterus tissue lysate.

Descrizione del bersaglio

~55-60 kDa observed. The target band size appears larger than the calculated molecular weight of 42.77/42.81 kDa (human/mouse) due to glycosylation. Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some lysate(s).

Stato fisico

Affinity purified.

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

Stoccaggio e stabilità
