Recognizes human PTH/PTHrP receptor, Mr 80kD, and the receptor dimer, Mr 160kD. A faint nonspecific band at 110kD is also detected. This antibody does not detect the PTH2 receptor.
Purification

Immunogen
PTHR1 monoclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to aa 146 - 169 of PTHR1 (Human).
PTHR1, a Parathyroid Hormone Receptor, mediates PTH-dependent regulation of mineral-ion homeostasis. It also mediates the paracrine action of PTHRP in endochondral bone formation. Mutations in this receptor are responsible for disorders of calcium and bone metabolism such as chondrodysplasia, hypercalcemia, and chronic renal failure. Three promoters, P1, P2, and P3, regulate the expression of PTHR.
