• Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
• 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.
• Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

The G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), also serves as a receptor for several psychoactive substances, including mescaline, psilocybin, DOI, and LSD. Binding of ligands induces a conformational change, activating G proteins and modulating downstream effectors. HTR2A is coupled to G(q)/G11 G alpha proteins, which activate phospholipase C-beta. This results in the production of diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), which respectively regulate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity and promote the release of Ca2+ ions from intracellular stores, influencing various cellular processes.
