Anti-P2Y8 Antibody

Rabbit polyclonal antibody to P2Y8

Western blot analysis of P2Y8 expression in Hela (A), mouse lung (B), mouse heart (C), mouse kidney (D), rat heart (E), rat kidney (F) whole cell lysates.
Immunofluorescent analysis of P2Y8 staining in HuvEc cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a hidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight 594-conjugated secondary antibody (red) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).

Protein Information
Name	P2RY8 {ECO:0000303\|PubMed:30842656, ECO:0000312\|HGNC:HGNC:15524}
Function	G protein-coupled receptor for S-geranylgeranyl-glutathione (GGG), an endogenous metabolite present in lymphoid tissues. Couples the binding of GGG to the activation of GNA13 and downstream repression of AKT activation in lymphocytes defining their positioning and growth within lymphoid organs (PubMed:25274307, PubMed:30842656, PubMed:34088745). In lymphoid follicles, confines B cells and follicular helper T cells in germinal centers (GCs) in response to GGG local gradients established by GGT5 (via GGG catabolism) and ABCC1 (via extracellular transport) with lower concentrations of GGG found in the follicular dendritic cell network region around which germinal centers are formed (PubMed:25274307, PubMed:30842656, PubMed:34088745). In the bone marrow, also in response to GGG gradients established by GGT5 and ABCC1, it restricts chemotactic transmigration of B cells, T cells and NK cells from blood vessels to the bone marrow parenchyma (PubMed:30842656, PubMed:34088745). Contributes to GNA13-dependent pathway that suppresses GC B cell growth (PubMed:25274307).
Cellular Location	Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
Tissue Location	Barely detectable in normal blood leukocytes. Weaker expression was seen in heart, kidney and lung. Not detected in brain (PubMed:11004484, PubMed:15466006). Expressed in B cells and follicular helper T cells in germinal centers (at protein level) (PubMed:30842656).
