General description

Adrenergic receptors (ARs) belong to the 7-transmembrane domain G protein-coupled receptor superfamily that binds to the endogenous catecholamines, epinephrine and norepinephrine. α2AR subtypes block adenylyl cyclase, suppress voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels, and stimulate receptor dependent K+ channels. All of the α2AR subtypes inhibit adenylyl cyclase through coupling to members of the Gi/Go class of G proteins. They are an important component of the neural circuitry and modulate cardiovascular physiology. The physiological function of the α2ARs in the kidney is to regulate Na+/H+ exchange.
Anti-α2A adrenergic receptor detects rat and mouse α2A adrenergic receptors by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. In immunoblotting, the antibody detects an approx. 45kDa band representing α2A receptors in tissues expressing this receptor subtype, although some non-specific bands have also been observed in certain cases.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide derived from amino acids 218-235 of human, mouse, rat, and pig α2A adrenergic receptor. The immunogen sequence is found within the third intracellular loop of the α2A adrenergic receptor subtype.

Application

Rabbit anti-α2A adrenergic receptor antibody can be used for western blot (1:500) and immunohistochemistry (1:1000) applications.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline, containing 1 mg/ml BSA and 0.05% sodium azide.
