Rabbit Anti-LHCGR (Luteinizing hormone receptor)
The luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor is a member of a subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) characterized by the presence of a large N-terminal extracellular domain containing several leucine-rich repeats (LRR). This glycoprotein hormone receptor family has been named the LRR-containing GPCR (LGR) family . The LHCGR gene contains 11 exons and spans approximately 80 kb and it is mapped to chromosome 2p21. In the ovary, theca, stromal, late-stage (luteinizing) granulosa, and luteal cells contain LHCGR. In the testes, Leydig cells contain LHCRG.
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Immunohistochemistry: paraffin Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminal of human LHCGR, different from the relative rat sequence by two amino acids, mouse sequence by three amino acids
Form
Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, 5% BSA, 0.05% Thimerosal, 0.05% sodium azide. Reconstitutie with 200ul sterile ddH2O.
Purity
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Specificity
Recognizes human and rat LHCGR. No crossreactivity with other proteins.
