DescriptionChemiSCREEN™ Membrane Preparation Recombinant Human PK2 Prokineticin Receptor
OverviewFull-length human GPR73L1 cDNA encoding PK2
Background InformationProkineticins, also known as endocrine gland vascular endothelial growth factors (EG-VEGF), are two ~10 kD secreted proteins originally described to mediate angiogenesis and gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction (Li et al., 2001; LeCouter et al., 2003). Subsequently, prokineticins have been found to mediate central nervous system functions including circadian rhythms and olfactory bulb development (Cheng et al., 2002; Ng et al., 2005). Two Gq-coupled receptors, PK1 and PK2 (also known as GPR73a and GPR73b), mediate cellular responses to prokineticins (Lin et al., 2002). Millipore's PK2 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of agonists and antagonists at PK2. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 0.36 nM for [125I]-MIT-1. With 0.3 nM [125I]-MIT-1, 10µg/well PK2 Membrane Prep typically yields greater than 5-fold signal-to-background ratio.

Biological Information
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryProkineticins are secreted proteins that can promote angiogenesis and induce strong gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and G protein-coupled receptor for prokineticins. The encoded protein is similar in sequence to GPR73, another G protein-coupled receptor for prokineticins.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q8NFJ6 # Receptor for prokineticin 2. Exclusively coupled to the G(q) subclass of heteromeric G proteins. Activation leads to mobilization of calcium, stimulation of phosphoinositide turnover and activation of p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase.
SIZE: 384 amino acids; 43996 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the ileocecum, thyroid gland, pituitary gland, salivary gland, adrenal gland, testis, ovary and brain.
DISEASE: SwissProt: Q8NFJ6 # Defects in PROKR2 are the cause of Kallmann syndrome type 3 (KAL3) [MIM:244200]; also known as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia. Anosmia or hyposmia is related to the absence or hypoplasia of the olfactory bulbs and tracts. Hypogonadism is due to deficiency in gonadotropin-releasing hormone and probably results from a failure of embryonic migration of gonadotropin- releasing hormone-synthesizing neurons. KAL3 patients have variable degrees of olfactory and reproductive dysfunction, but do not show any of the occasional clinical anomalies reported in Kallmann syndrome such as renal agenesis, cleft lip and/or palate, selective tooth agenesis, and bimanual synkinesis.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q8NFJ6 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Incubation ConditionsMembranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, an FC 96-well harvest plate (Millipore cat. # MAHF C1H) is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.
Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C
Radioligand: [125I] MIT-1 (Perkin Elmer#: NEX-410)
Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.
