This antibody is predicted to have no cross-reactivity to ORAI2 or ORAI3.
Purification
ORAI1 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
ORAI1 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human ORAI1. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of ORAI1.
ORAI1 antibody can be used for detection of ORAI1 by Western blot at 0.5 - 2 μ,g/mL. ORAI1 often migrates at a higher than expected molecular weight in SDS-PAGE. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2.5 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

ORAI1 Antibody: Antigen stimulation of immune cells triggers Ca++ entry through Ca++ release-activated Ca++ (CRAC) channels. ORAI1 is a recently identified four-transmembrane spanning protein that is an essential component of CRAC. A missense mutation in this protein in humans is the cause of one form of hereditary severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) which results in ablated T-cell Ca++ entry. It has been suggested that ORAI1 functions as a highly selective Ca++ plasma membrane channel that is gated through interactions with STIM1, the store-activated endoplasmic reticulum Ca++ sensor.
