GPR56 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.  GPR56 is a receptor for collagen III/COL3A1 in the developing brain and involved in regulation of cortical development, specifically in maintenance of the pial basemant membrane integrity and in cortical lamination. GPR56 is required for normal cortical development and regulation of neuroprogenitor cells proliferation.  GPR56 is involved in cell adhesion and probably in cell-cell interactions. It regulates the migration of neural precursor cells. Overexpression of GPR56 inhibits melanoma tumor growth and metastasis and, during melanoma progression, it regulates VEGFA production and angiogenesis. Unprocessed GPR56 is inhibiting and GPR56 NT is activating angiogenesis. Mutations in the GPR56 gene are associated with a brain malformation known as bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria. GPR56 also binds specifically to transglutaminase 2, a component of tissue and tumor stroma implicated as an inhibitor of tumor progression.

NCBI Gene ID: 9289

 

Uniprot Entry: Q9Y653

 

Construct Details: Full length human GPR56 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: 2082 (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.
