Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human TRPC5 recombinant protein (Position: K684-L973). Human TRPC5 shares 90% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse TRPC5. (reported region: K684-L973).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 111 kDa; calculated MW: 111412 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Short transient receptor potential channel 5; Short transient receptor potential channel 5. Short transient receptor potential channel 5 (TrpC5), also known as TRP-5, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRPC5 gene. TRPC5 is subtype of the TRPC family of mammalian transient receptor potential ion channels. It is mapped to Xq23. The predicted 973-amino acid TRPC5 protein has a calculated molecular mass of 111.5 kD. It contains the characteristic 8 predicted transmembrane domains (TM1 through TM8), including a pore region (TM7) between TM6 and TM8. TRPC5 is a multi-pass membrane protein and is thought to form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel, and it is a candidate for the regulation of calcium waves. The protein is active alone or as a heteromultimeric assembly with TRPC1, TRPC3, and TRPC4. Functional note: Thought to form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. Probably is operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors. Has also been shown to be calcium-selective (By similarity). May also be activated by intracellular calcium store depletion. . Reported localization: Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Expression/tissue context: Expressed in brain with higher levels in fetal brain. Found in cerebellum and occipital pole. .
