Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-D1 Dopamine Receptor (rat IgG2a isotype) is derived from the rat hybridoma 1-1-F11 S.E6 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from rat immunized with recombinant fusion protein containing the C-terminal 97 amino acid of human D1 dopamine receptor. Dopamine receptors belong to the family of seven transmembrane domain G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Dopamine receptors are mainly localized in the striatum, limbic system, the brain cortex and the infundibulum. The D1-like family consists of the D1 and D5 receptors._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ recombinant fusion protein containing the C-terminal 97 amino acid of human D1 dopamine receptor._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-D1 Dopamine Receptor antibody produced in rat has been used in:_x000D_ • immunohistochemistry_x000D_ • immunoblotting_x000D_ • immunocytochemistry_x000D_ • proximity ligation assay_x000D_ • co-immunoprecipitation_x000D_ • western blotting_x000D_ Target description_x000D_ D1 Dopamine Receptor encodes the D1 subtype of the dopamine receptor. The D1 subtype is the most abundant dopamine receptor in the central nervous system. This G-protein coupled receptor stimulates adenylyl cyclase and activates cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Legal Information_x000D_ Sold under exclusive license from Emory University_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ D1 receptors regulate neuronal growth and development, mediate some behavioral responses, and modulate dopamine receptor D2-mediated events. D1 receptors are expressed on airway smooth muscle (ASM) and regulate smooth muscle force via cAMP activation of protein kinase A. It is a potential target for therapeutic relaxation of ASM.
