Catalogue

Background
Endothelial Cell Differentiation Gene-7 (EDG-7) belongs to a family of G-protein coupled receptors whose ligands are lysophospholipids. The ligand for EDG-7 is lysophospholipid. 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-7 is expressed in prostate as well as other tissues.

Synonyms: Endothelial cell differentiation gene 7 C-terminal; Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor-4 (LPA3)

Source

Immunogen: Antibody raised against a unique synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal of the human EDG7 protein.

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 recombinant EDG-7 receptors by Western blot. 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.
