Scientific background

The Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors (MRGPRs), formerly called Mas-related genes (MRGs) includes nine members: MrgprA, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and the primate-specific MRGPRX^1,2.

MRGPRE consist of only one receptor per species and is conserved in rodents and primates². MRGPRE structure contains a Cys-Cys bridge from transmembrane domain (TM) 3, an “ionic-lock” known to inhibit activation and activity in some class A GPCRs^1,2.

Human and mouse MRGPRE is highly expressed in neurons of the brain and mast cells. Transcripts are also found in medium and large diameter neurons of human dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sections and in other areas of the central nervous system, including cerebral cortex, hippocampus, spinal cord, and cerebellum. MRGPRE was also found in human, mouse, and rat placenta tissue and in enteric neurons^1,2_.

Mouse lacking the MRGPRE protein showed decreased nociceptive behavior and significant deficits in the induction of mechanical allodynia after chronic constriction injury².

Scientific Background

Specific Control Product

MRGPRE Blocking Peptide (#BLP-MR062) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-MRGPRE Antibody (#AMR-062) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-MRGPRE primary antibody, this makes it a good negative reagent control to help confirm antibody specificity in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. This control is also often called a pre-adsorption control.
