HCAR2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2, which is encoded by the HCAR2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to act as a high affinity receptor for both nicotinic acid (also known as niacin) and (D)-beta-hydroxybutyrate and mediates increased adiponectin secretion and decreased lipolysis through G(i)-protein-mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 363 residues, a mass of 41.9 kDa, and is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane. Other alias names for this target include G-protein coupled receptor 109A, G-protein coupled receptor HM74A, niacin receptor 1, nicotinic acid receptor, and G protein-coupled receptor HM74a.
There are HCAR2 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
