Oxoglutarate Receptor 1 - ExpressMAX™ Human GPCR ORF Clones

Human Oxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate) Receptor 1 (OXGR1) is encoded by the OXGR1 gene that is expressed in kidney and, to a lower extend, in placenta, not detected in brain tissues. It is a member of the GPCR family and is similar to the Purinergic P2Y receptors. OXGR1 is receptor for alpha-ketoglutarate, an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. Because OXGR1 activation did not affect cAMP levels and both inositol phosphate formation and calcium ion flux were found to be insensitive to pertussis toxin, this receptor seems to act exclusively through a G(q)-mediated pathway.
