		Technical Data
S1001-18K	Serotonin Receptor 2C (5-hydroxytryptamine Receptor 2C, 5-HT-2C, 5-HT2C, 5-HTR2C, 5-hydroxytryptamine Receptor 1C, 5-HT-1C, 5-HT1C, HTR2C, HTR1C)

Description:
5HT2C is a 45kD 7TM receptor for serotonin and is neuronally expressed in the limbic system of the brain. The release of dopamine due to 5HT2C ligation regulates mood, appetite, and motivation. 5HT2C is an important pharmacologic target in the treatment of psychosis, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, and migrane headaches. Multiple isoforms of 5HT2C can be generated by RNA editing. Human 5HT2C shares 89% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat 5HT2C.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 2.5ug labels 10e6 cells
Immunohistochemistry: 8-25ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
