GPCR GPR44 has been reported to be expressed in the central nervous system, peripheral tissues, and in blood cells, particularly activated T helper-2 cells. Two transcripts have been isolated: a 3.5 kb transcript expressed primarily in the thalamus, frontal cortex, pons and hippocampus, and a 3.4 kb transcript expressed in fetal liver, leukocytes and thymus. ESTs have been isolated from B-cell/lung/testis, brain, kidney, liver/spleen, placenta, prostate, testis and thymus libraries. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for at least 3 months at -20C. 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.
