Overview
Anti-Anoctamin-5 Antibody is an antibody targeting ANO5, Transmembrane protein 16E, TMEM16E, GDD1, LGMD2L Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: ANO5, Transmembrane protein 16E, TMEM16E, GDD1, LGMD2L (also reported as ANO5, Transmembrane protein 16E, TMEM16E, GDD1, LGMD2L).
- Immunogen/epitope region: 2nd intracellular loop.
- Homology note: Rat - identical; human - 12/13 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): 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
Anoctamins, also known as TMEM16, is a family of ten proteins involved in a variety of functions including phospholipid scrambling, ion transport and the regulation of other membrane proteins. ANO1 (Anoctamin-1), ANO2 and ANO5 function as Ca2+-activated Cl- channels (CaCCs) and play an important role in calcium dependent chloride secretion. All members of the Anoctamin family present high structural homology and consist of eight transmembrane domains and cytosolic N- and C-termini1.The ANO5 gene is widely distributed and expressed in bone, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, brain, lung and kidney and also in the mucosal layer of the GI tract and the skeletal muscle layer of the esophagus of mice2.In phylogenetic analysis ANO5 was found to be a close relative of ANO6.
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
- Western blot (WB): compare target abundance/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms/PTMs.
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-CL015.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
