Anti-P2RY12 antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: Purinergic receptor (P2Y12) is expressed in platelets. P2Y12 is mapped to human chromosome 3q25.1. It belongs to the P2Y receptors family and is predominantly expressed in astrocytes. P2Y12 is predicted to have three ATP binding regions. It has seven transmembrane regions.
• Immunogen: P2Y purinoceptor 12 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
• Application: Anti-P2RY12 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: The gene P2RY12 (purinergic receptor P2Y, G-protein coupled, 12) encodes a G-protein coupled receptor for ADP and ATP coupled to G-proteins that are involved in the negative regulation of adenylyl cyclase second messenger system. It functions in normal platelet aggregation and blood coagulation. Defects in this gene may cause bleeding disorder, platelet type 8 (BDPLT8). It serves as a potential target for the treatment of thromboembolisms and other clotting disorders.
• 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.
