Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. Acts as a cell-cell contact-dependent endothelial calcium entry channel. Probably operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors. Mediates cation entry, with an enhanced permeability to barium over calcium. May also be activated by intracellular calcium store depletion. .
Scientific background (datasheet): The short transient receptor potential channel 4 (TRPC4), also known as Trp-related protein 4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRPC4 gene. TRPC4 is a member of the transient receptor potential cation channels. It is mapped to 13q13.3. This protein forms a non-selective calcium-permeable cation channel that is activated by Gq-coupled receptors andtyrosine kinases, and plays a role in multiple processes including endothelial permeability, vasodilation, neurotransmitter release and cell proliferation. TRPC4 also has an essential role in endothelial-dependent regulation of vascular tone, endothelial permeability, and neurotransmitter release from thalamic interneurons.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Enhanced insertion into the cell membrane after activation of the EGF receptor.
Tissue details (datasheet): Strongly expressed in placenta. Expressed at lower levels in heart, pancreas, kidney and brain. Expressed in endothelial cells. Isoform alpha was found to be the predominant isoform. Isoform beta was not found in pancreas and brain. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the transient receptor (TC 1.A.4) family. STrpC subfamily. TRPC4 sub-subfamily.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Calcium Channels,Calcium Signaling,G Protein Signaling,Neuroscience,Neurotransmission,Protein Phosphorylation,Receptor Tyrosine Kinases,Receptors / Channels,Signal Transduction,Signaling Pathway,Tyrosine Kinases.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
