A synthetic peptide from the 1t cytoplasmic loop of mouse TRPV1 (VR1, capsaicin receptor, vanilloid receptor 1) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.
TRPV1
Reactivity: Human
WB, ELISA
Host: Mouse
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
A concentration of 10-50 µg/ml recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Lyophilized
Reconstitution
Reconstitute in 100 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 -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.
Function: Receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel involved in detection of noxious chemical and thermal stimuli. Seems to mediate proton influx and may be involved in intracellular acidosis in nociceptive neurons. May be involved in mediation of inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia. Sensitized by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases, which involves PKC isozymes and PCL. Activation by vanilloids, like capsaicin, and temperatures higher than 42 degrees Celsius, exhibits a time- and Ca(2+)-dependent outward rectification, followed by a long-lasting refractory state. Mild extracellular acidic pH (6.5) potentiates channel activation by noxious heat and vanilloids, whereas acidic conditions (pH Also known as: Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1, TrpV1, osm-9-like TRP channel 1, OTRPC1, Vanilloid receptor 1, Vanilloid receptor type 1-like, Capsaicin receptor, transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1, Vr1, Vr1l1, VR.5'sv.
