Gene Name: P2RX2

Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins.

Background: The P2RX2 gene encodes the P2X2 receptor, which assembles as a trimer to form a ligand-gated ion channel gated by extracellular ATP. P2X2 receptors mediate a variety of cellular responses, including excitatory postsynaptic responses in sensory neurons. The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. P2RX2 is mapped to 12q24.33. It has been found that ATP-activated P2RX2 influenced OHC electromotility, a stimulus-induced change in hair cell length that functions as an amplifier to determine hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity. What’s more, P2RX2 channels were necessary for development of the temporary threshold shift.

Immunogen: E.coli-derived human P2X2 recombinant protein (Position: D139-L471). Human P2X2 shares 84% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat P2X2.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Contents: Each vial contains antibody formulated with stabilizing components, 0.9 mg NaCl, 0.2 mg Na2HPO4, and 0.05 mg NaN3.
*This antibody is supplied in a stabilized formulation.
Compatibility with conjugation reactions depends on the chemistry of the conjugation method used.
For conjugation methods that are not compatible with the stabilizing components present in this formulation, a carrier-free antibody format is required.

Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.

Reconstitution: Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.
