Anti-GPR101 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total GPR101 protein.
G protein-coupled receptor 101 (GPR101) codes for an an orphan G protein-coupled receptor. It is expressed at high level in the hypothalamus. The GPR101 gene is mapped to human chromosome Xq26.3.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human GPR101.
Immunogen Range: 451-500
Biochem/physiol Actions
Mutation in G protein-coupled receptor 101 (GPR101) gene result in acromegaly. The GPR101 protein is expected to play an important role in hypothalamic control of energy homeostasis. Duplication of the GPR101 gene leads to X-linked acrogigantism (XLAG).

Germline or somatic GPR101 duplication leads to X-linked acrogigantism: a clinico-pathological and genetic study.
Cushing disease (CD) in children is caused by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenomas. Germline or somatic mutations in genes such as MEN1, CDKIs, AIP, and USP8 have been identified in pediatric CD, but the genetic defects in a significant percentage

We recently showed that Xq26.3 microduplications cause X-linked acrogigantism (X-LAG). X-LAG patients mainly present with growth hormone and prolactin-secreting adenomas and share a minimal duplicated region containing at least four genes. GPR101 was the only gene highly expressed in their
