PTAFR - Platelet-activating factor receptor
Order number: 71291
Description
We are excited to introduce our off-the-shelf, full-length, active, and native Platelet-activating factor receptor (PTAFR). PTAFR is a Receptor for platelet activating factor, a chemotactic phospholipid mediator that possesses potent inflammatory, smooth-muscle contractile and hypotensive activity. Seems to mediate its action via a G protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.
Our PTAFR protein has been solubilized and stabilized using Cube Biotech's NativeMP™ platform, ensuring it retains its native structure and full biological activity, making it ideal for a wide range of research applications.
Applications:
- Screening/Validation
- Biologics Development
- Structure Determination
- Small Molecule Drug Development
The protein delivered can be used for these specific applications. When ordering, please indicate which applications you intend to use the protein for in the contact form to ensure the best results.
