HTR2B Polyclonal Antibody, Invitrogen™

Description

These Polyclonal antibodies are of rabbit origin developed by immunizing animals with proteins or peptides. The polyclonal antibody is purified by affinity purification from the rabbit sera generated after immunizing the rabbits with a specific type of protein or peptide. The purified antibody is tested for its functionality in various relevant research applications. The antibody is developed for Research Use Only and is non-hazardous or non-infectious in nature. This antibody is predicted to react with Horse, Pig and Cat.

HTR2B is a g-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). It functions as a receptor for various ergot alkaloid derivatives and psychoactive substances. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. HTR2B also plays a role in perception of pain, regulation of behavior. It is required to normal proliferation of embryonic cardiac myocytes and normal heart development.
