- Product Overview:
GPR120 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 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 ions and activation of the ERK cascade.{13205} ?-3 Fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid initiate GPR120 signaling resulting in inhibition of lipopolysaccharide and TNF-? inflammatory signaling pathways in a ?-arrestin2/TAB1 dependant 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 internal 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 40 kDa by western blot.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
