Alternative names:

PGQTL2

Description:

Human GIPR full length protein-synthetic nanodisc

Background:

A G-protein coupled receptor for gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), which was originally identified as an activity in gut extracts that inhibited gastric acid secretion and gastrin release, but subsequently was demonstrated to stimulate insulin release in the presence of elevated glucose. Mice lacking this gene exhibit higher blood glucose levels with impaired initial insulin response after oral glucose load. Defect in this gene thus may contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes.

Protein families:

Druggable Genome, GPCR, Transmembrane

Protein pathways:

Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

GIPR

Molecular weight:

The human full length GIPR protein has a MW of 53.2 kDa

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from nanodisc solubilization buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0). Normally 5% - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions.

Usage:

Research use only
