Prokineticin Receptor 2 Protein (PROKR2)

Catalog No. ABIN7538483

This Synthetic Nanodisc Prokineticin Receptor 2 protein is produced in Mammalian Cells.

Quick Overview for Prokineticin Receptor 2 Protein (PROKR2) (ABIN7538483)

Target: Prokineticin Receptor 2 (PROKR2)

Protein Type: Synthetic Nanodisc

Origin: Human

Source: Mammalian Cells

Product Details

Purpose: Human PKR2 full length protein-synthetic nanodisc

Characteristics: Unlike other membrane scaffold protein (MSP) Nanodisc on the market, our synthetic Nanodisc can be prepared directly from the cells. The polymers used during this process have a dual function. It dissolves the cell membranes, like the detergent, and uses cellular phospholipids to form Nanodisc around the membrane proteins. The target protein embedded Nanodiscs can then be purified.

Application Details

Comment:

Advantages of Synthetic Nanodiscs:

• Highly purified membrane proteins
• High solubility in aqueous solutions
• High stability
• Proteins are in a native membrane environment and remain biologically active
• No detergent and can be used for cell-based assays
• No MSP backbone proteins

Limitations of Synthetic Nanodiscs:

• Intolerant to acids and high concentrations of divalent metal ions

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Buffer: Lyophilized from nanodisc solubilization buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0). Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization.

Storage: -20 °C,-80 °C

Storage Comment: Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.

Expiry Date: 12 months

Target Details

Target: Prokineticin Receptor 2 (PROKR2)

Alternative Name: PKR2

Background: Prokineticins are secreted proteins that can promote angiogenesis and induce strong gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and G protein-coupled receptor for prokineticins. The encoded protein is similar in sequence to GPR73, another G protein-coupled receptor for prokineticins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Molecular Weight: The human full length PKR2 protein has a MW of 44kDa

UniProt: Q8NFJ6

Pathways: Hedgehog Signaling, EGFR Signaling Pathway, Neurotrophin Signaling Pathway, Myometrial Relaxation and Contraction, G-protein mediated Events, Interaction of EGFR with phospholipase C-gamma
