ADRA1B, also known as the alpha-1B-adrenergic receptor, is a 90kD 7TM catecholamine
receptor with selectivity for epinephrine and norepinephrine. Formation of homooligomers and heterooligomers with ADRA1A enables receptor internalization following ligand binding. ADRA1B functions in diverse settings including vasoconstriction and myocardial contractility, neuronal dopaminergic responses, dendritic cell migration and inflammatory responses, and neuroendocrine regulation of fertility. Human ADRA1B shares 95% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat ADRA1B.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 25ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol and store at -20 degrees C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
