AGRG4 is a 7 transmembrane (7TM) 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. AGRG4 is an orphan GPCR and may be proteolytically processed to form a heterodimer of 2 chains: the large extracellular N-terminal fragment and the membrane-bound C-terminal 7TM fragment predominantly remain associated and non-covalently linked. AGRG4 is known to be expressed in normal enterochromaffin cells and in gastrointestinal neuroendocrine carcinoma cells, and it is therefore considered to be a novel biomarker or target for immunotherapy.  It is also detected in normal liver and highly expressed in primary liver carcinoma.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: AGRG4; ADGRG4; GPR112; PGR17; RP1-299I16

 

NCBI Gene ID: 139378

 

Uniprot Entry: Q8IZF6

 

Construct Details: Full length human AGRG4 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: 9243 (bp)

 

Gene Insert Sequence:  Not shown

 

 

 

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.
