Related Product Information for PGI recombinant protein
Prostacyclin is produced in endothelial cells from prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) by the action of the enzyme prostacyclin synthase. Although prostacyclin is considered an independent mediator, it is called PGI2 in eicosanoid nomenclature, and is a member of the prostanoids.The series-3 prostaglandin PGH3 also follows the prostacyclin synthase pathway, yielding another prostacyclin, PGI3. The unqualified term 'prostacyclin' usually refers to PGI2. PGI2 is derived from the omega-6 arachidonic acid. PGI3 is derived from the omega-3 EPA. Prostacyclin (PGI2) chiefly prevents formation of the platelet plug involved in primary hemostasis (a part of blood clot formation). It does this by inhibiting platelet activation. It is also an effective vasodilator. Prostacyclin's interactions in contrast to thromboxane (TXA2), another eicosanoid, strongly suggest a mechanism of cardiovascular homeostasis between the two hormones in relation to vascular damage.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family 1 and has been shown to be a receptor for prostacyclin. Prostacyclin, the major product of cyclooxygenase in macrovascular endothelium, elicits a potent vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation through binding to this receptor.

Uniprot Description

PTGIR: Receptor for prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2 or PGI2). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G(s) proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Protein type: Receptor, GPCR; GPCR, family 1; Membrane protein, integral; Membrane protein, multi-pass

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19q13.3

Cellular Component: integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane; cytosol

Molecular Function: G-protein coupled receptor activity; guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity

Biological Process: G-protein signaling, coupled to cyclic nucleotide second messenger; cell-cell signaling; negative regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation; positive regulation of cAMP biosynthetic process; response to lipopolysaccharide; blood coagulation; G-protein signaling, adenylate cyclase activating pathway; positive regulation of GTPase activity

Product Notes

The PGI ptgir (Catalog #AAA283684) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Yeast and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Prostacyclin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). Western blotting, ELISA, Albumin-bound fluorescence was used in serum of patients with chronic renal failure. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PGI ptgir for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Prostacyclin, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
