Scientific background

RAMP2, also known as receptor activity modifying protein 2, is a single-pass transmembrane protein with extracellular N-terminus and intracellular C-terminal tail. RAMP2 heterodimerizes with several G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and alters their function and life cycle. RAMPs were first identified for the receptors association with calcitonin receptor-like receptor (Calcrl, CLR) as the canonical receptor for the endocrine peptide adrenomedullin (Adm, AM). In addition, RAMP2 also binds to other class B GPCRs: calcitonin receptor (Ctr), corticotrophin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (Crhr1), glucagon receptor (Gcgr), parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (Pth1r), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor types 1 and 2 (VPAC1 and VPAC2). RAMPs have an important role in receptor trafficking, including translocation from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi, internalization, and recycling of the receptors^1,2.

The mammalian RAMP family includes three members, each encoded by single genes: RAMP1, RAMP2, and RAMP3. Studies have shown that Ramp2 null mice are embryonic lethal, with cardiovascular developmental defects in the heart, blood, and lymphatic vasculatures³.

Lyophilized Powder

Anti-RAMP2 (extracellular) Antibody (#ARR-022) is a highly selective antibody directed against an epitope of the rat protein. The antibody can be used in western blot and indirect live cell flow cytometry applications. It has been designed to recognize RAMP2 from mouse, and rat samples. It will not recognize RAMP2 from human samples.

Scientific Background

Specific Control Product

RAMP2 (extracellular) Blocking Peptide (#BLP-RR022) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-RAMP2 (extracellular) Antibody (#ARR-022) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-RAMP2 (extracellular) 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.
