OX2R Polyclonal Antibody, 20ul Proteases May play diverse roles in

May play diverse roles in the spermatogenesis including in the adhesion of spermatocytes and spermatids to Sertoli cells and for their normal differentiation into mature spermatozoa

Mutations in this gene have been associated with thrombophilia due to protein C deficiency| neonatal purpura fulminans| and recurrent venous thrombosis

This protein also has a function in skin barrier protection

Translation initiation for this protein occurs at a non-AUG start codon that is decoded as methionine

OX2R Polyclonal Antibody, 20ul Proteases May play diverse roles inThe protein encoded by this gene is a G protein coupled receptor involved in the regulation of feeding behavior. The encoded protein binds the hypothalamic neuropeptides orexin A and orexin B. A related gene (HCRTR1) encodes a G protein coupled receptor that selectively binds orexin A.
