Adenosine A2a Receptor Protein (ADORA2A)

Catalog No. ABIN7538121

Product Details

Target: Adenosine A2a Receptor (ADORA2A)

Protein Type: MSP Nanodisc

Origin: Human

Source: Mammalian Cells

Purpose: Human ADORA2A full length protein membrane nanoparticles (MNPs)

Characteristics: Plasma membrane-coated nanoparticles (MNPs) have been used in various applications, including delivery of therapeutic agents and induction of immune responses et al. Unlike the conventional strategies, MNPs directly leverage intact and natural functions of cell membranes, and show high biocompatibility, specificity, and low side effects. Our optimized MNPs platform for the full-length membrane protein production uses membrane coating technology and a HEK293 based expression platform. The high-purity plasma membrane-coated nanoparticles were produced by extrusion after membrane extraction from the host HEK293 cells containing the overexpressed target proteins.

Application Details

Comment:

Advantages of Membrane Nanoparticles (MNPs):

• High display density of target membrane proteins
• Native structure and orientation of transmembrane protein
• soluble in aqueous solutions for routine biochemical analysis
• Detergent-free purification process
• Strong immunogenicity
• Works for MPs that can´t be produced via VLPs and EXos

Limitations of Membrane Nanoparticles (MNPs):

• Lack of accurate quantification of the target membrane proteins.
• Need to develop special SPR assayx.
• Cell membranes contain housekeeping proteins that can result in immune response dilution.
• Some membrane proteins can´t be enriched on membrane.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Buffer: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization.

Storage: -20 °C,-80 °C

Storage Comment: Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.

Expiry Date: 12 months

Background: A member of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, which is subdivided into classes and subtypes. The receptors are seven-pass transmembrane proteins that respond to extracellular cues and activate intracellular signal transduction pathways. This protein, an adenosine receptor of A2A subtype, uses adenosine as the preferred endogenous agonist and preferentially interacts with the G(s) and G(olf) family of G proteins to increase intracellular cAMP levels. It plays an important role in many biological functions, such as cardiac rhythm and circulation, cerebral and renal blood flow, immune function, pain regulation, and sleep. It has been implicated in pathophysiological conditions such as inflammatory diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A read-through transcript composed of the upstream SPECC1L (sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domains 1-like) and ADORA2A (adenosine A2a receptor) gene sequence has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding.

Molecular Weight: The human full length ADORA2A protein has a MW of 44.7 kDa
