Synthetic peptide corresponding to 18aa from 3rd extracellular domain of human GPR65. Species sequence homology: gorilla and gibbon.
GPR65 (TDAG8), a Lysophospholipid/Lysosphingolipid Receptor, is a molecular target for psychosine, a toxic lipid formed by the breakdown of galactosylceramide (cerebroside). A build-up of psychosine, caused by the lack of galactosylceramidase, results in the death of the myelin-synthesizing cells, oligodendrocytes, which is associated with Krabbe disease. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 10ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt.
