GPR98 is a 7 transmembrane receptor belonging to the secretin receptor family, which is also known as family B or 2 of the G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Many members of this family are receptors for peptide hormones from the glucagon hormone family and regulate the activation of two major signal transduction pathways: adenylyl cyclase (cAMP) and phosphatidylinositol-calcium pathways.  GPR98 is also known as very large G protein-coupled receptor 1 (VLGR1) with 6306 amino acids.  GPR98 binds calcium and is expressed in the central nervous system. Mutations in this gene are associated with Usher syndrome 2 and familial febrile seizures. GPR98 may have an important role in the development of the central nervous system.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: GPR98; FEB4; MASS1; USH2B; USH2C; VLGR1; VLGR1b; KIAA0686; KIAA1943

 

NCBI Gene ID: 84059

 

Uniprot Entry: Q8WXG9

 

Construct Details: Full length human GPR98 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 18921 (bp)
