Catalogue

Background
EDG-1 belongs to a family of G-protein coupled receptors whose ligands are lysophospholipids. The ligand for EDG-1 is sphingosine-1-phosphate. There are 8 known members of the EDG receptor family and they are implicated in mediating growth related effects such as induction of cellular proliferation, alterations in differentiation and survival and suppression of apoptosis. They also evoke cellular effector functions that are dependent on cytoskeletal responses such as contraction, secretion, adhesion and chemotaxis. EDG receptors are developmentally regulated and differ in tissue distribution. They couple to multiple types of G proteins to signal through ras and MAP kinase, rho, phospholipase C and several protein tyrosine kinases. EDG-1 is expressed in cardiovascular, leukocyte- containing and other tissues.

Synonyms: Endothelial cell differentiation gene 1 C-terminal

Source

Immunogen: Synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal of the EDG-1 receptor

Product

Product Form: Unconjugated

Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide

Purification Method: Ammonium Sulfate Precipitation

Concentration: See vial for concentration

Applications
Detects EDG1 receptors at concentration of 5-10 µg/ml by Western blot using a human EDG1 receptor transfected cell line. Detects an approximately 44 kDa band in RH7777 cells transfected with full length human EDG1. Due to low expression of EDG receptors, we recommend use of Pierce Femto Signal substrate for western blot development. Optimal concentration should be evaluated by serial dilutions.

Functional Analysis: Western Blotting

Positive Control: RH7777 cells transfected with full length EDG-1 protein.

Storage
Product should be stored at -20°C. Aliquot to avoid freeze/thaw cycles

Product Stability: See expiration date on vial

Shipping Conditions: Ship at ambient temperature, freeze upon arrival
