A synthetic peptide from the 1t cytoplasmic loop of mouse TRPV4 conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The antigen is homologous in rat and human.
TRPV4
Reactivity: Human
WB, ELISA
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
IHC WB. A concentration of 10-50 μg,ml is recommended. The optimal concentration should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Lyophilized
Reconstitution
Reconstitute in 500 µL of sterile water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
Handling Advice
Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
Storage
4 °C,-20 °C
Storage Comment
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8C for a shorter term. When reconstituting glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
TRPV4 is a cation-selective channel activated in response to systemic osmotic pressure. FUNCTION: Non-selective calcium permeant cation channel probably involved in osmotic sensitivity and mechanosensitivity. Activation by exposure to hypotonicity within the physiological range exhibits an outward rectification. Also activated by low pH citrate and phorbol esters. Increase of intracellular Ca(2+) potentiates currents. Channel activity seems to be regulated by a calmodulin-dependent mechanism with a negative feedback mechanism. SUBUNIT: Interacts with calmodulin. Interacts with Map7 and Src family Tyr protein kinases LYN SRC FYN HCK LCK and YES. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed lung spleen kidney testis fat and at very low levels in trigeminal ganglia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the transient receptor family TrpV subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 3 ANK repeats.
