The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-beta Arrestin 1 antibody (Clone RB31615) (ABIN655944) specifically detects beta Arrestin 1 in WB, IF, IHC (p) and FACS.
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This ARRB1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 336-363 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human ARRB1.
Members of arrestin/beta-arrestin protein family are thought to participate in agonist-mediated desensitization of G-protein-coupled receptors and cause specific dampening of cellular responses to stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, or sensory signals. Arrestin beta 1 is a cytosolic protein and acts as a cofactor in the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (BARK) mediated desensitization of beta-adrenergic receptors. Besides the central nervous system, it is expressed at high levels in peripheral blood leukocytes, and thus the BARK/beta-arrestin system is believed to play a major role in regulating receptor-mediated immune functions. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms of arrestin beta 1 have been described, however, their exact functions are not known.
