GPR31 Receptor Antibodies
GPR31 (G Protein-Coupled Receptor 31) is an orphan GPCR that has been identified as a receptor for 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12(S)-HETE), a lipid metabolite involved in inflammatory and cancer-related processes. Upon binding to 12(S)-HETE, GPR31 activates intracellular signaling pathways associated with cell migration, survival, and proliferation. GPR31 is expressed in a variety of tissues, including prostate, colon, and pancreatic tissues, as well as in certain immune cells and endothelial cells. It is particularly upregulated in several cancer types, such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and colorectal cancer.GPR31 is considered a potential pharmacological target, especially in cancer biology, due to its role in promoting tumor cell invasion and survival through 12(S)-HETE signaling. Although drug development targeting GPR31 is still in the early stages, it is being studied for its involvement in tumor progression, angiogenesis, and inflammation, making it a candidate for future oncology and immunomodulatory therapies.
