The 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that binds serotonin, a biogenic hormone functioning as a neurotransmitter, hormone, and mitogen. Upon ligand binding, the receptor undergoes a conformational change, activating guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulating downstream effectors. HTR4 is specifically coupled to G(s) G alpha proteins, leading to the activation of adenylate cyclase and subsequent increases in cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels. This signaling pathway plays a role in regulating various physiological processes, including mood, gastrointestinal function, and cell proliferation, through the modulation of cAMP-dependent cellular responses.

Reconstitution | We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. |
Shelf Life | The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. |
