Dom.) - Aff - Purified Alternate names: G protein-coupled receptor 18, GPCRW, N-arachidonyl glycine receptor Quantity: 50 µg Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml Background: GPR18 is an Orphan-A GPCR with no known ligand. GPR18 has been reported to be expressed at high levels in testis and spleen and at lower levels in other tissues associated with endocrine and immunologic/hematologic functions. ESTs have been isolated from human blood, bone marrow, brain, colon, liver/spleen, lymph, lymph node, testis, and tonsil libraries. Uniprot ID: Q14330 NCBI: NP_001091670.1 GeneID: 2841 Host: Rabbit Immunogen: Synthetic 18 amino acid peptide from 1st extracellular domain of human GPR18 / NAGly receptor Remarks: Percent identity with other species by BLAST analysis: Human, Gorilla, Gibbon, Monkey (100%); Marmoset, Mouse, Hamster, Panda, Dog, Horse (94%); Rat, Bat, Bovine (89%); Elephant, Rabbit, Pig (83%). BLAST analysis of the peptide immunogen showed no homology with other human proteins, except GPR174 (44%). Format: State: Liquid Ig fraction Purification: Immunoaffinity chromatography Buffer System: PBS containing 0.09% Sodium azide Applications: Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections: 6 µg/ml. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user. Specificity: This antibody recognizes 1st extracellular domain of GPR18 / NAGly receptor. Species Reactivity: Tested: Human, Gorilla, Gibbon, Monkey, Marmoset, Mouse, Hamster, Panda, Dog, Horse, Rat, Bat, Bovine, Elephant, Rabbit, Pig Storage: Store undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C to -80°C for longer.

Both of these diseases affect lungs and lymph nodes and share similar clinical manifestations. However, the underlying mechanisms for the similarities and differences in ge- netic characteristics of SARC and PTB remain unclear. Material/Methods: Three datasets (GSE16538, GSE20050, and GSE19314) were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in SARC and PTB were identified using GEO2R online analyz- er and Venn diagram software.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Glaucoma is an irreversible blinding eye disease which produces progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is currently the only modifiable risk factor, and lowering IOP results in reduced risk of progression of the disorder. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) has attracted considerable attention as a potential target for the treatment of glaucoma, largely due to the observed IOP lowering effects seen after administration of exogenous cannabinoids. However, recent evidence has suggested that modulation of the ECS may also be neuroprotective. This paper will review the use of cannabinoids in glaucoma, presenting pertinent information regarding the pathophysiology of glaucoma and how alterations in cannabinoid signalling may contribute to glaucoma pathology. Additionally, the mechanisms and potential for the use of cannabinoids and other novel agents that target the endocannabinoid system in the treatment of glaucoma will be discussed.

Through creativity and determination, we set forth into new frontiers, and I am a better scientist for it. She taught me to follow my heart and never fear the unknown. Judith allowed me to be independent while never feeling alone. I am deeply grateful to have had the chance to experience graduate school with her by my side and will miss her immensely. I also truly appreciate having been able to do science with the rest of the Hellman lab. Fengyun Xu and Erika Wong spent uncountable hours repeating complex experiments, and Alphonso Tran sacrificed endless nights and weekends to help move this project along. I sincerely could not have done this without all of their help and support. Finally, I greatly appreciate my undergraduate research advisor, Will DePaolo, who gave me the foundation in research that has been crucial to my success at UCSF. I would also like to thank my thesis committee, Matt Springer, Shaun Coughlin, and Mehrdad Matloubian, for their consistent guidance and inspiration.
