Overview
Anti-Human TRPV2 (VRL1) (extracellular) Antibody is an antibody targeting Vanilloid receptor-like protein 1, VRL-1, Osm-9-like TRP channel 2, OTRPC2, Strech-activated channel 2B, SAC2B Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in IFC, LCI, WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Vanilloid receptor-like protein 1, VRL-1, Osm-9-like TRP channel 2, OTRPC2, Strech-activated channel 2B, SAC2B (also reported as Vanilloid receptor-like protein 1, VRL-1, Osm-9-like TRP channel 2, OTRPC2, Strech-activated channel 2B, SAC2B).
- Immunogen/epitope region: 1st extracellular loop.
- Homology note: Human only (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human.
- Specificity statement (as provided): The antibody will not recognize the protein from rat or mouse samples..
- Cited use: IFC (literature use does not guarantee performance in every setup).
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis.
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
TRP channels are a large family (about 28 genes) of plasma membrane, non-selective cationic channels that are either specifically or ubiquitously expressed in excitable and non-excitable cells.1 The TRP channels have six putative transmembrane domains (TM) with a pore domain between the fifth and the sixth TM, and all assemble as tetramers. Both the N- and the C-termini of all TRPs are intracellular3.According to IUPHAR, the TRP family is comprised of numerous subfamilies on the basis of sequence homology; TRPC, TRPM, TRPV, TRPA, TRPML, and TRPP1-4. The TRPV subfamily consists of six members, TRPV1-65.Four members of the TRPV family have been described as thermosensitive ion channels (TRPV1 to TRPV4).
Research relevance and current trends
- Linking transporter/channel abundance to ionic homeostasis and excitability-related phenotypes.
- Studying compartment-specific localization (surface vs intracellular pools) and trafficking dynamics.
- Combining antibody readouts with functional assays for more complete interpretation.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare target abundance/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms/PTMs.
- 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.
- 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: BLP-CC139.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
