Target/Specificity | This NPSR1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 327-356 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human NPSR1. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | NPSR1 Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | NPSR1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | GPR154, GPRA, PGR14 |
Function | G-protein coupled receptor for neuropeptide S (NPS) (PubMed:16790440). Promotes mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+) stores (PubMed:16790440). Inhibits cell growth in response to NPS binding (PubMed:15947423). Involved in pathogenesis of asthma and other IgE- mediated diseases. |
Cellular Location | [Isoform 1]: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein [Isoform 4]: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein [Isoform 5]: Cytoplasm [Isoform 7]: Cytoplasm |
Tissue Location | Isoform 4 is ubiquitous; it is detected in glandular epithelia of bronchus, stomach, small intestine, colon, uterus, esophagus, spleen, kidney, pancreas, prostate and breast Isoform 1 is detected in uterus, colon and prostate, and in the smooth muscle cell layer in bronchial and arterial walls (at protein level) (PubMed:15947423). Isoform 1 is predominantly expressed in smooth muscle. Isoform 4 is predominantly expressed in epithelial cells. In bronchial biopsies, it is expressed in smooth muscle cells of asthma patients, but not in control patients; whereas in epithelial cells, its expression is consistently stronger in asthma patients |

Background
NPSR1 is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family and encodes a plasma membrane protein. Increased expression of this gene in ciliated cells of the respiratory epithelium and in bronchial smooth muscle cells is associated with asthma.
