Product Background
Neuropeptide FF receptor 2 (NPFFR2), also known as GPR74, is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in neuropeptide signaling pathways associated with pain modulation, opioid signaling, energy metabolism, neuroendocrine regulation, and central nervous system function.
NPFFR2 is widely studied in neuroscience, pain biology, GPCR pharmacology, opioid receptor signaling, and metabolic regulation research. Due to its role in neuromodulatory signaling pathways, NPFFR2 has attracted interest as a potential therapeutic target in pain management and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Antibody Development
HM0083 was generated by phage-display selection using a mouse-derived antibody library. A recombinant epitope-Fc fusion protein containing the NPFFR2 epitope sequence was used as the selection antigen. Following identification of the initial antibody candidate, structure-guided affinity optimization was performed to improve binding affinity and specificity.
The optimized antibody was reconstructed as a full-length mouse IgG1 recombinant antibody and expressed in HEK293 cells.
Binding and specificity were evaluated by:
- ELISA using recombinant epitope-Fc fusion antigen
- Western blot detection of endogenous human NPFFR2 protein
Validation Data
ELISA Validation
ELISA demonstrated specific binding to recombinant epitope-Fc fusion antigen, while minimal binding was observed against Fc-only control protein.
Validation conditions:
- Fc control protein
- Epitope-Fc fusion protein
- Detection substrate: TMB
Note: ELISA validation confirms binding to epitope-Fc fusion antigen. Full-length NPFFR2 protein binding in solution has not been tested by ELISA.
Western Blot Validation – Endogenous Full-Length Protein
Western blot analysis detected endogenous human NPFF2 protein in human cell lysates under reducing conditions.
Validated samples:
- 293T cells
- HeLa cells
- HepG2 cells
Observed bands:
- Major immunoreactive bands were detected around 50–60 kDa, consistent with the expected molecular weight range of human NPFFR2 isoforms.
- Additional lower molecular weight bands may represent alternative isoforms, proteolytic fragments, partially glycosylated receptor species, or GPCR-associated processing products.
