Anti-ARRB2 antibody produced in rabbit (C15-1341-658)

General description

Arrestin, β 2 (ARRB2), belongs to the arrestin family and suppresses cellular responses by desensitization of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR). It also blocks β-adrenergic-mediated functions. Genetic variations in ARRB2 have been associated with Alzheimer′s disease and tardive dyskinesia.
Rabbit Anti-ARRB2 antibody recognizes pig, rabbit, canine, chicken, mouse, human, rat, bovine, and zebrafish ARRB2.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human ARRB2

Application

Rabbit Anti-ARRB2 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 1μg/ml. It can also be used for IHC applications at 4-8μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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. ARRB2, like arrestin beta 1, was shown to inhibit beta-adrenergic receptor function in vitro. It is expressed at high levels in the central nervous system and may play a role in the regulation of synaptic receptors. Besides the brain, a cDNA for arrestin beta 2 was isolated from thyroid gland, and thus it may also be involved in hormone-specific desensitization of TSH receptors.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.

Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been defined.
