Catalogue

Background
EDG6 (S1P4) belongs to a family of G-protein coupled receptors whose ligands are lysophospholipids. The ligand for EDG6 (S1P4) 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. EDG6 (S1P4) is expressed in lymphoid and hematopoietic tissue and in the lungs. 

Synonyms: Endothelial cell differentiation gene 6, N terminal; Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor-4 (S1P4)

Source
Rabbits were immunized with a synthetic peptide derived from the N terminal of the EDG6 (S1P4) receptor.

Product
Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide.

Product Form: Unconjugated

Purification Method: Ammonium Sulfate Precipitation

Concentration: See vial for concentration

Applications
Detects EDG6 (S1P4) receptors at concentration of 5-10 µg/ml by Western blot using a human EDG6 (S1P4) receptor transfected cell line. Detects an approximately 45 kDa band in Cos cells transfected with full length human EDG6 (S1P4) . Due to low expression of EDG receptors, we recommend use of Pierce Femto Signal substrate for western blot development.

Functional Analysis: Western Blotting

Positive Control: Cos cells transfected with EDG6 (S1P4) protein

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

Product Stability: See expiration date on vial
