Gene Information

human ... HTR2B(3357)

General description

5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (HTR2B) is a 481 amino acid receptor which is expressed in the liver, kidney, lungs and heart. The gene encoding this protein in located on chromosome 2q36.3-2q37.1.

Immunogen

5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-HTR2B antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

HTR2B (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B) is G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). An increased expression of this receptor is seen in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The activated HTR2B regulates intracellular calcium levels and affects the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. The pathway also involved in the activation of ryanodine receptors. It has been shown that HTR2B takes part in brain development and contributes to the brain architecture.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
