epitope corresponding to amino acids 1-60 mapping at the N-terminus of PCP-2 of human origin
Modification Notes
Purkinje cells are densely branching neurons characteristic of the cerebellar cortex. Purkinje cell protein-2 (PCP-2 or L7) is a G protein regulator abundant in Purkinje cells and retinal bipolar neurons. PCP-2 belongs to a family of proteins containing a GoLoco or GPR (G protein regulatory) motif named for the Gi/o interacting protein Loco, the Drosophila RGS12 homologue. PCP-2 protein interacts with Gåi/o family of G proteins to inhibit GDP release. This indicates that the colocalization and association of Gåi/o and PCP-2 in cerebellum may play a functional role in regions of synaptic activity, as well as neural differentiation. The Purkinje type calcium channels may be physiological effectors of PCP-2 because they are the major voltage-dependent channels that modulate cell output and they are regulated by Gi/o proteins. PCP-2 is only detected in higher vertebrates, suggesting that it may be a marker of more recent evolutionary development of cerebellar Purkinje cells.
