GPR50 polyclonal antibody Background :
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a central role in mediating the intracellular effects of numerous neurotransmitters and hormones, including melatonin. GPR50, also designated Melatonin-related receptor, GPCR50 and H9, does not bind melatonin. It is a multi-pass membrane protein primarily detected in hypothalamus and pituitary. GPR50 is a 613 amino acid protein that contains the seven hydrophobic segments that are characteristic of GPCRs, as well as the distinguishing sequence motifs of the melatonin receptor GPCR family. The GPR50 protein is 45% identical to the melatonin receptors 1A and 1B and has an unusually long proline-rich C-terminal tail. Research suggests that a deletion variant within the GPR50 gene is a sex-specific risk factor for susceptibility to BPAD (bipolar affective disorder) and that other variants in the gene may be sex-specific risk factors in the development of schizophrenia.

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
