Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel, Subfamily V, Member 2 (TRPV2) antibody

Antigen: Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel, Subfamily V, Member 2 (TRPV2)

Synonyms: VRL, VRL1, VRL-1, MGC12549, GRC, Vrl1, OTRPC2, MGC105451, TRPV2

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Sheep

Reactivity: Human

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN351261

Additional Information

Alternative name: TRPV2 (VRL, VRL1, VRL-1, OTRPC2)

UniProt: Q9Y5S1

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from human TRPV2 (VRL, VRL1, VRL-1, OTRPC2) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: This gene encodes an ion channel that is activated by high temperatures above 52 degrees Celsius. The protein may be involved in transduction of high-temperature heat responses in sensory ganglia. It is thought that in other tissues the channel may be activated by stimuli other than heat. FUNCTION: Calcium-permeable, non-selective cation channel with an outward rectification. Seems to be regulated, at least in part, by IGF-I, PDGF and neuropeptide head activator. May transduce physical stimuli in mast cells. Activated by temperatures higher than 52 degrees Celsius; is not activated by vanilloids and acidic pH. SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. Interacts with a cAMP-dependent protein kinase type II regulatory subunit (PRKAR2A or PRKAR2B) and ACBD3. Interacts with RGA. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Melanosome. Note: Translocates from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane upon ligand stimulation. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. Also known as: Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 2, TrpV2, osm-9-like TRP channel 2, OTRPC2, vanilloid receptor-like protein, VRL, VRL1, VRL-1, OTRPC2, MGC12549.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for TRPV2.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

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
