Low-density Lipoprotein Receptor-related Protein 8
Apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (ApoER2) is an NMDA associated protein found in neurons. It participates in important functions from guiding neurons in the embryonic brain to regulating synaptic signaling. It is also involved in debilitating neurodegenerative diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.
Cellular Localization: Type I membrane. Isoforms that contain the exon encoding for a furin-cleavage site are proteolytically processed, leading to a secreted receptor fragment.
Positive Control: Mouse brain membrane preparation
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
