Anti-PILRA antibody produced in rabbit

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human PILRA

Anti-PILRA antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 5μg/mL. It is also useful for immunohistochemistry at a concentration of 4-8μg/mL.

PILRA (Paired immunoglobin-like type 2 receptor alpha) gene encodes a single-pass type I membrane protein predominantily expressed in immune cells like monocytes, granulocytes and dendritic cells. PILR-associating neural protein (PANP) is a ligand for PILRA that facilitates the immune system regulation. It plays a pivotal role in regulating cell signaling via SHP-1 by balancing the PILRalpha-mediated inhibition and PILRbeta-mediated activation. Additionally, PILRalpha facilitates as a coreceptor that acquaints with glycoprotein B (gB) and assists in herpes simplex virus-1 entry. Further, it regulates the membrane fusion of the viral envelope with cellular membranes during virus entry and virus-induced cell-to-cell fusion.
