Rat D5 receptor is a 475 aa, G-protein coupled, and transmembrane receptor protein. An 18aa Peptide sequence from the rat D5 receptor within the 4th cytoplasmic domain.
Dopamine is an endogenous catecholamine that influences many cellular activities, including behavior, hormone synthesis and release, blood pressure and intracellular ion transport. A family of at least 5 Dopamine Receptors (DR) genes, D1-D5, have been identified based upon the amino acid identity, pharmacological specificity and effector responses. DR have been classified into either the D1-like (D1, D1B, and D5) or D2-like (D2, D3, and D4). The two isoforms of D2R, D2 long (D2L) and short (D2S), are encoded by splice variants of a single gene and differ only by the presence of an additional 29aa in the intracellular domain 3 of the D2 long form. It may play a role in the coupling of the receptor to G-proteins. All members of this family have similar structure and contain 7 putative transmembrane domains. A given cell or tissue may express more than one DR. Specific radioligands do not exist that can differentiate between these DR. Therefore, specific antibodies are needed to distinguish, localize, and document changes in DR levels in cells and tissues under various normal and pathological conditions.
仕様
Size：100ug
Source Antigen：Rat synthetic peptide
Grade：Highly Purified
Purity：Highly purified
Form：Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2
Specificity：73% conserved in chicken and 64% in human D5R. No significant sequence homology exists with other dopamine receptors (D1, D2, D3 or D4). Control peptide, because of its low MW (<3kD), is not suitable for Western. It should be used for ELISA or antibody blocking experiments
