Overview
Anti-Angiotensin II Receptor Type-1 (extracellular)-ATTO Fluor-550 Antibody is an antibody targeting AT1 Receptor, AT1R, AGTR1 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (ATTO-550. Maximum absorption 554 nm; maximum fluorescence 576 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 540 - 565 nm range. This label is related to the dye Rhodamine 6G and can be used with filters used to detect Rhodamine.). This antibody is commonly used in IC, IF, IHC, LCI to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: AT1 Receptor, AT1R, AGTR1 (also reported as AT1 Receptor, AT1R, AGTR1).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Extracellular, N-terminus.
- Homology note: Mouse, rat, rabbit, dog - identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Cited use: IHC (literature use does not guarantee performance in every setup).
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #AAR-011), and immunohistochemistry (labeled antibody)..
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
Angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1, AGTR1) is one of the receptors that binds the octapeptide hormone Angiotensin II (Ang II). Ang II is the peptide hormone that generates most of the known effects of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Ang II is generated from the angiotensinogen protein by the actions of renin, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and other peptidases.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparing target expression across perturbations, genotypes, or treatment conditions.
- Interpreting localization shifts alongside pathway or phenotypic readouts.
- Using orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, isotype concepts) to support conclusions.
Common research applications
- 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.
- 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-AO.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
