Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects P2X purinoceptor 7 (gene P2rx7) in mouse samples and is validated for Western blot and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 68.4 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 68 kDa.
P2X7 (P2RX7) is an ATP-gated cation channel that opens only at high extracellular ATP levels, such as those released by damaged cells. Prolonged activation can form a large membrane pore and triggers NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β release in macrophages and microglia, so it is a central target in inflammation and cell death research.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse) |
|---|---|
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): mouse Neuro-2a cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant mouse P2RX7 fragment (Asn380–Glu585), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse. UniProt places P2X purinoceptor 7 in the cell membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
