C5L2, also known as GPR77, is a 45kD 7TM receptor that binds the complement proteins
C3a, C4a, and C5a as well as the acylation stimulating peptide (ASP). C5L2 is expressed on
various hematopoietic cells where it promotes complement-mediated inflammation. ASP
binding to C5L2 on adipocytes triggers triglyceride synthesis and glucose uptake and inhibits
lipolysis. Human C5L2 shares 60% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat C5L2.
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.
