Overview
Anti-5HT1B Receptor (HTR1B) (extracellular) Antibody is an antibody targeting 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 1B, Serotonin receptor 1B, Serotonin 1D beta receptor, 5HT1D-beta, HTR1DB, HTR1D2 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in IF, IFC, IHC, WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 1B, Serotonin receptor 1B, Serotonin 1D beta receptor, 5HT1D-beta, HTR1DB, HTR1D2 (also reported as 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 1B, Serotonin receptor 1B, Serotonin 1D beta receptor, 5HT1D-beta, HTR1DB, HTR1D2).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Extracellular, N-terminus.
- Homology note: Rat - 15/17 amino acid residues identical; mouse - 14/17 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis.
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
- Conjugate/format: Unconjugated (may affect detection channel and background).
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) plays unequivocally a most important role in the normal physiology amongst higher eukaryotes, as do most neurotransmitters. The physiological roles of serotonin and its receptors range from appetite, regulation of the circadian rhythm, sexual behavior, memory and nociception. Serotonin is also involved in migraine and some psychiatric diseases such as depression anxiety and aggression1.
Research relevance and current trends
- Mapping receptor/channel localization across neuronal subtypes and subcellular compartments.
- Linking trafficking or surface expression changes to activity-dependent signaling and plasticity.
- Using KO/KD or blocking-peptide concepts to strengthen antibody-based target assignment.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare target abundance/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms/PTMs.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC: assess subcellular localization and co-localization with markers in cells or sections.
- Flow cytometry (direct/indirect): quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression across subsets.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: BLP-SR022.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
