GPRC6A (G-protein coupled receptor family C group 6 member A) is a 7 transmembrane (7TM) receptor belonging to the family 3 (also known as family C) of the G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Structurally they are composed of 4 elements; an N-terminal signal peptide; a large hydrophilic extracellular agonist-binding region; a region containing 7TM domains; and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of variable length. Family 3 members include the metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), the extracellular calcium-sensing receptors (CASRs), the gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA) type B receptors, and the vomeronasal type-2 receptors.  These GPCRs regulate many important physiological processes and many of them are promising targets for drug development. GPRC6A may be a receptor activated by amino acids with a preference for basic amino acids such as L-Lys, L-Arg and L-ornithine but also by small and polar amino acids. The L-alpha amino acids respond is augmented by divalent cations Ca2+ and Mg2+. It can be activated by extracellular calcium and osteocalin. GPRC6A may also mediate the non-genomic effects of androgens in multiple tissue. It may coordinates nutritional and hormonal anabolic signals through the sensing of extracellular amino acids, osteocalcin, divalents ions and its responsiveness to anabolic steroids.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: GPRC6A

 

NCBI Gene ID: 222545

 

Uniprot Entry: Q5T6X5

 

Construct Details: Full length human GPRC6A 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 +/- a selection marker, 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: 2781 (bp)
