Background:

Plasma membrane transporter mediating the uptake by cells of the water soluble vitamin B2/riboflavin that plays a key role in biochemical oxidation-reduction reactions of the carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid metabolism. Humans are unable to synthesize vitamin B2/riboflavin and must obtain it via intestinal absorption. May also act as a receptor for 4-hydroxybutyrate (Probable).1 Publication1 Publication5 Publications(Microbial infection) In case of infection by retroviruses, acts as a cell receptor to retroviral envelopes similar to the porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV-A).

Specificity:

GPR17A2 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of GPR17A2 protein.
