Overview
Anti-5HT2B Receptor (HTR2B) (extracellular)-ATTO Fluor-488 Antibody is an antibody targeting 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B, Serotonin receptor 2B, 5-HT-2B, 5-HT2F, Stomach fundus serotonin receptor Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (ATTO-488. Maximum absorption 501 nm; maximum fluorescence 523 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 480 - 515 nm range. This label is analogous to the dye fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and can be used with filters used to detect FITC.). This antibody is commonly used in FC, IHC, LCI to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B, Serotonin receptor 2B, 5-HT-2B, 5-HT2F, Stomach fundus serotonin receptor (also reported as 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B, Serotonin receptor 2B, 5-HT-2B, 5-HT2F, Stomach fundus serotonin receptor).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Extracellular, N-terminus.
- Homology note: Mouse - identical, human - 11/15 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #ASR-035), and immunohistochemistry (labeled antibody)..
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
- Conjugate/format: ATTO-488. Maximum absorption 501 nm; maximum fluorescence 523 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 480 - 515 nm range. This label is analogous to the dye fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and can be used with filters used to detect FITC. (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
5-HT is involved in a variety of physiological and biological processes. In the brain, 5-HT has been found to affect sleep, mood, appetite, anxiety, aggression, perception, pain, and cognition1. Signaling of 5-HT is mediated by receptors that are located on the cell membrane of neurons and most other cells in the body.
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
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.
- Flow cytometry (direct/indirect): quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression across subsets.
- Live cell imaging (LCI): support extracellular-epitope detection on non-permeabilized cells when appropriate.
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: RIC-001-AG.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
