Localization:
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: Transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface is regulated by interaction with DNAJC14.
Epitope:
This antibody has not been epitope mapped.
Species Reactivity:
This antibody reacts with mouse and rat protein. It does not react with human, dog, pig, sheep, rabbit, or cow proteins. Other species have not been tested.
Applications:
Uses:
This antibody is useful for Western Blot analysis, where multiple bands are seen around 45 and 100 kDa (dimer) in sf9 cell lysates overexpressing D1a and a single band at 90 kDa in striatal tissue lysate. Do NOT boil samples. Immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence have been useful using other productions of this antibody.

The members of the G protein-coupled receptor family are distinguished by their slow transmitting response to ligand binding. These seven transmembrane proteins include the adrenergic, serotonin, and dopamine receptors. The effect of the signaling molecule can be excitatory or inhibitory depending on the type of receptor to which it binds. Beta-adrenergic receptor bound to adrenaline activates adenylyl cyclase, while alpha 2-adrenergic receptor bound to adrenaline inhibits adenylyl cyclase. The dopamine receptors are divided into two classes; D1 and D2, which differ in their functional characteristics. D1 receptors stimulate adenylyl cyclase, while D2 receptors inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity. Five different subtypes of dopamine receptor have been described to date. D1DR and D5DR belong to the D1 subclass, while D2DR, D3DR and D4DR belong to the D2 subclass of dopamine receptors.
