GPR50 (G-protein coupled receptor 50) is a 7 transmembrane receptor belonging to the G protein-coupled receptor 1 (GPCR1) family.  GPR50 shares similarity with the melatonin receptors.  However it does not bind melatonin and inhibits melatonin receptor 1A function through heterodimerization. Polymorphic variants of the GPR50 gene have been associated with bipolar affective disorder in women.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: GPR50; H9; Mel1c

 

NCBI Gene ID: 9248

 

Uniprot Entry: Q13585

 

Construct Details: Full length human GPR50 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: 1854 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
