Functional Insights
ADRB4C belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, mediating catecholamine responses. While its exact physiological role in turkeys remains understudied, transcriptomic data associate it with neural and metabolic pathways. Comparative studies suggest functional parallels with mammalian β-adrenergic receptors, such as:
Ligand binding to epinephrine/norepinephrine.
Activation of cAMP-dependent signaling cascades.

Product Specs
Form
Lyophilized powder Note: We prioritize shipping the format currently in stock. However, if you have a specific format requirement, please indicate it in your order notes, and we will accommodate your request.
Lead Time
Delivery time may vary depending on the purchasing method and location. For specific delivery times, please consult your local distributors. Note: All of our proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs by default. If you require dry ice shipping, please inform us in advance. Additional fees will apply.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
We recommend centrifuging the vial briefly before opening to ensure the contents settle at the bottom. Reconstitute the protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. For long-term storage, we recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers can use this as a reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life is influenced by various factors including storage conditions, buffer ingredients, storage temperature, and the protein's inherent stability.
Generally, liquid form has a shelf life of 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Lyophilized form has a shelf life of 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Upon receipt, store at -20°C/-80°C. Aliquoting is necessary for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Tag Info
Tag type will be determined during the manufacturing process.
The specific tag type will be determined during production. If you have a preferred tag type, please inform us, and we will prioritize its inclusion in the development process.
