Gene Information

human ... GPR179(440435)

General description

G protein-coupled receptor 179 (GPR179) is a 2367 amino acid orphan G protein receptor. It is expressed in all vertebrates and is part of the glutamate receptor or class C GPCR proteins. GPR179 contains an amino-terminal region with a calcium-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain, a carboxyl-terminal region having a short motif and seven transmembrane domain regions. The gene encoding the protein is located on chromosome 17.

Immunogen

Probable G-protein coupled receptor 179 Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-GPR179 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. Anti-GPR179 antibody produced in rabbit has been used for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Biochem/physiol Actions

G protein-coupled receptor 179 (GPR179) has a depolarizing bipolar cell (DBC) function. It takes part in the DBC signal transduction pathway for normal rod vision in the eye. Mutations in the gene encoding GPR179 have been linked to autosomal-recessive congenital stationary night blindness.

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.
