Overview
Anti-TRPC3-ATTO Fluor-594 Antibody is an antibody targeting Short transient receptor potential channel 3, Transient receptor protein 3, TRP3 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (ATTO-594. Maximum absorption 601 nm; Maximum fluorescence 627 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 580 - 615 nm range. This label belongs to the class of Rhodamine dyes and can be used with fluorescent equipment typically optimized to detect Texas Red and Alexa-594.). This antibody is commonly used in IF, IHC to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Short transient receptor potential channel 3, Transient receptor protein 3, TRP3 (also reported as Short transient receptor potential channel 3, Transient receptor protein 3, TRP3).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Intracellular, C-terminus.
- Homology note: Human, rat - 13/14 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- KO-validated: yes (validation context may be assay-dependent).
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #ACC-016), 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
The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) superfamily is one of the largest ion channel family and consists of diverse groups of proteins. In mammals about 28 genes encode the TRP ion channel subunits. The mammalian TRP superfamily comprises six subfamilies known as the TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPML (mucolipins), TRPP (polycystin) and the TRPA (ANKTM1) ion channels.1-4The TRPC subfamily consists of seven proteins named TRPC1 to 7 which can be further divided into four subgroups based on their sequence homology and functional similarities: TRPC1; TRPC4 and TRPC5; TRPC3, TRPC6, TRPC7 and TRPC2.2,5 They are highly expressed in the central nervous system and to a lesser extent in peripheral tissues.TRPC3, TRPC6 and TRPC7 form non-selective cationic channels that are activated by the stimulation of GPCRs.TRPC3 was shown to be activated by DAG and SOC, in heterologous expression systems.6,7
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
- 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.
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.
- Conceptual control: KO/KD samples provide orthogonal support for target assignment when available.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: BLP-CC016.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
