Rabbit Anti-Neurotensin Receptor 1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Neurotensin (NT) initiates an intracellular response by interacting with the G protein-coupled receptors NTR1 (NTS1 receptor, high affinity NTR) and NTR2 (NTS2 receptor, levocabastine-sensitive Neurotensin receptor), and the type I receptor NTR3 (NTS3 receptor, sortilin-1, Gp95). Neurotensin has a wide distribution in regions of the brain and in peripheral tissues where Neuro-tensin receptors can contribute to hypotension, hyperglycemia, hypothermia, antinociception and regulation of intestinal motility and secretion. HL-60 cells express NTR1, which can couple to Gq, Gi/o, or Gs. Alternative splicing of rat NTR2 can generate a five-transmembrane domain variant isoform that is co-expressed with the full-length NTR2 throughout the brain and spinal cord. NTR3 activation in the murine microglial cell line N11 induces MIP-2, MCP-1, IL-1b and TNFa in an ERK1/2- and Akt kinase-dependent manner.
Function:
Neurotensin receptor 1 belongs to the large superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors. NTSR1 mediates the multiple functions of neurotensin, such as hypotension, hyperglycemia, hypothermia, antinociception, and regulation of intestinal motility and secretion. NTR1 has been reported in brain, pancreas, and small intestine. ESTs have been isolated from brain and colon libraries.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Similarity:
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Neurotensin receptor subfamily. NTSR1 sub-subfamily.
