Rabbit anti-Human GPR37 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O15354

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GPR37

Target Full Name

Prosaposin receptor GPR37

Target Function

Receptor for the neuroprotective and glioprotective factor prosaposin. Ligand binding induces endocytosis, followed by an ERK phosphorylation cascade.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

G-protein coupled receptor 1 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in brain and spinal cord, and at lower levels in testis, placenta and liver, but no detectable expression observed in any other tissue. When overexpressed in cells, tends to become insoluble and unfolded. Accumulation of the unfolded protein may

Target Synonyms

GPR37; Prosaposin receptor GPR37; Endothelin B receptor-like protein 1; ETBR-LP-1; G-protein coupled receptor 37; Parkin-associated endothelin receptor-like receptor; PAELR

Target Background

This gene is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. The encoded protein contains seven transmembrane domains and is found in cell and endoplasmic reticulum membranes. G protein-coupled receptors are involved in translating outside signals into G protein mediated intracellular effects. This gene product interacts with Parkin and is involved in juvenile Parkinson disease.
