FFAR4 (GPR120) (N-Term) Polyclonal Antibody

GPR120 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed in adipocytes and pro-inflammatory macrophages that is activated by long chain free fatty acids.{13205} The activation of GPR120 results in elevated calcium ion and activation of the ERK cascade.{13205} ?-3 Fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid initiate GPR120 signaling resulting in inhibition of toll-like receptor and TNF-? inflammatory signaling pathways in a ?-arrestin2/TAB1 dependent manner.{22326} The anti-inflammatory effects of GPR120 are indirectly involved with promoting insulin secretion.{13205} GPR120 also mediates free fatty acid induced apoptosis inhibition in the enteroendocrin cell line STC-1.{13205} Cayman’s N-terminal polyclonal antibody detects GPR120 in LoVo and PC3 cell lysates. The predicted size for GPR120 is 42.2 kDa and the observed size is approximately 45 kDa by western blot.
