Storage Condition

Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Shelf Life

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.

Lead Time

3-7 business days

Notes

Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Description

The gene encoding the Human GCGR protein (26-136aa) is inserted into a plasmid vector to form the recombinant plasmid, which is introduced into baculovirus cells. baculovirus cells that have successfully taken up the recombinant plasmid can be selected based on their ability to survive in the presence of a specific antibiotic. The recombinant plasmid-containing baculovirus cells are cultured under conditions that promote the expression of the interested gene. The protein is fused with a N-terminal 10xHis tag and C-terminal Myc tag. After expression, the recombinant Human GCGR protein is isolated and purified from the cell lysate through affinity purification. The resulting recombinant Human GCGR protein is resolved by denaturing SDS-PAGE, allowing its purity to be estimated, greater than 85%.

Target Background

Function

G-protein coupled receptor for glucagon that plays a central role in the regulation of blood glucose levels and glucose homeostasis. Regulates the rate of hepatic glucose production by promoting glycogen hydrolysis and gluconeogenesis. Plays an important role in mediating the responses to fasting. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Promotes activation of adenylate cyclase. Besides, plays a role in signaling via a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.

3.0 A crystal structure of full-length GCGR containing both the extracellular domain and transmembrane domain in an inactive conformation PMID: 28514451
This work suggests that RAMP2 may modify the agonist activity and trafficking of the GCGR, with potential relevance to production of new peptide analogs with selective agonist activities. PMID: 28586439
Data suggest that GCGR activation proceeds via a mechanism in which transmembrane helix 6 (TM6) is held in an inactive conformation by a conserved polar core and a hydrophobic lock (involving intracellular loop 3, IC3); mutations in the corresponding polar core of GCGR disrupt these inhibitory elements, allow TM6 to swing outward, and induce constitutive G protein signaling. PMID: 28356352
The activation of the GCGR is characterized by the outward movement of the intracellular side of helix VI. In the active state of the GCGR, the Arg173(2.46)-Ser350(6.41) and Glu245(3.50)-Thr351(6.42) hydrogen bonds break, and the chi1 rotamer of Phe322(5.54) changes from perpendicular to parallel to helix VI. PMID: 27094704
In the glucagon receptor (GCGR) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), the extracellular domain is required for signaling even when the hormone is covalently linked to the transmembrane domain. PMID: 27226600
