Target data

Function

Proton-sensing G-protein coupled receptor couples to multiple intracellular signaling pathways, including GNAS/cAMP, GNAQ/phospholipase C (PLC), and GNA12/GNA13/Rho pathways (PubMed:12955148, PubMed:17462861, PubMed:20211729, PubMed:22110680). Acidosis-induced GPR4 activation increases paracellular gap formation and permeability of vascular endothelial cells through the GNA12/GNA13/Rho GTPase signaling pathway (PubMed:32058960). In the brain may mediate central respiratory sensitivity to CO(2)H(+) (By similarity).

Notes

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

GPR4 also known as G protein-coupled receptor 4 is a member of the GPCR family and plays a critical role in physiological processes. It has an approximate molecular mass of 41 kDa and is expressed in various tissues including the lung heart kidney and pancreatic tissues. GPR4 functions as a proton-sensing receptor which allows it to detect and respond to changes in pH levels providing essential feedback for cellular homeostasis.

Biological function summary

The proton-sensing ability of GPR4 influences numerous cellular activities including angiogenesis inflammatory responses and cell proliferation. GPR4 does not form part of any well-known protein complex but it partners with several intracellular signaling molecules like G proteins which transduce the extracellular pH changes into intracellular signals. The receptor's activation leads to downstream effects that affect cell physiology and contribute to adaptation to microenvironmental changes.

Pathways

The function of GPR4 integrates into the acid-sensing signaling and inflammatory response pathways. In the acid-sensing signaling pathway GPR4 works closely with other proton-sensitive receptors to regulate vascular and renal functions adjusting cellular activities according to pH variations. Within the inflammatory response pathway GPR4 interacts with proteins involved in immune cell recruitment and activation linking changes in pH to immune modulation and inflammatory responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

The activity of GPR4 has a significant connection to cancer and inflammatory diseases. The overexpression of GPR4 in certain tumors associates it with cancer progression where it influences tumor microenvironment acidification and consequent cell invasion and metastasis. In inflammatory diseases GPR4 modulates immune responses correlating with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis where it connects to other immune receptors and inflammatory mediators.
