The class C G-protein-coupled receptors are a class of G-protein coupled receptors that include the metabotropic glutamate receptors and several additional receptors. Family C GPCRs have a large extracellular N-terminus which binds the orthosteric (endogenous) ligand. The shape of this domain is often likened to a clam. Several allosteric ligands to these receptors have been identified and these bind within the seven transmembrane region.
Principle of the Assay: This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate GPR179 in samples. An antibody specific for GPR179 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyGPR179 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for GPR179 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of GPR179 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the glutamate receptor subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors. The encoded protein has an EGF-like calcium binding domain and a seven transmembrane domain in the N-terminal region of the protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital stationary night blindness type 1E. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
Uniprot Description
GPR179: Orphan receptor, involved in vision. Required for signal transduction through retinal depolarizing bipolar cells. Defects in GPR179 are the cause of congenital stationary night blindness type 1E (CSNB1E). An autosomal recessive, non-progressive retinal disorder characterized by impaired night vision, absence of the electroretinogram (ERG) b- wave, and variable degrees of involvement of other visual functions. Affected individuals have an ERG waveform that lacks the b-wave because of failure to transmit the photoreceptor signal through the retinal depolarizing bipolar cells. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family.
