Invitrogen™ AGTR2 Polyclonal Antibody

Descrizione

PA3-210 detects AGTR2 in human samples. PA3-210 has successfully been used in Western blot, immunocytochemical, and immunohistochemical (paraffin) procedures. The PA3-210 immunogen is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal amino acids C(349)RKSSSLREMETFVS(363) of AGTR2.

Angiotensin II is a potent vasopressor hormone and a primary regulator of aldosterone secretion that acts through at least two types of receptors, AGTR1 and AGTR2. It is an important effector controlling blood pressure and volume in the cardiovascular system and plays a major role in the development of the mammalian kidney and urinary tract. Like AGTR1, AGTR2 is a seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), but AGTR2 does not demonstrate most of the classic features of GPCR signaling. AGTR2 is involved in a wide range of activities, including the induction of neurite outgrowth and the inhibition of cellular proliferation, in addition to the known function of mediation of vasoconstriction.
