Additional Information

Alternative name: TRPM3 (Melastatin-2, LTrpC3, MLSN2, GON-2) (4th cytoplasmic loop)

Swiss-Prot: Q9HCF6

Format: Lyophilized

Description: The product of this gene belongs to the family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. TRP channels are cation-selective channels important for cellular calcium signaling and homeostasis. The protein encoded by this gene mediates calcium entry, and this entry is potentiated by calcium store depletion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. FUNCTION: Calcium channel mediating constitutive calcium ion entry. Its activity is increased by reduction in extracellular osmolarity, by store depletion and muscarinic receptor activation. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed primarily in the kidney and, at lower levels, in brain, testis, ovary, pancreas and spinal cord. Expression in the brain and kidney was determined at protein level. In the kidney, expressed predominantly in the collecting tubular epithelium in the medulla, medullary rays, and periglomerular regions; in the brain, highest levels are found in the cerebellum, choroid plexus, the locus coeruleus, the posterior thalamus and the substantia nigra. Down-regulated in renal tumors compared to normal kidney. Also known as: Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 3, long transient receptor potential channel 3, LTrpC3, Melastatin-2, MLSN2, LTRPC3, KIAA1616, GON-2.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for TRPM3.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 3000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user.

Purity: whole serum

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
