Overview
Anti-TRPV1 (VR1)-ATTO Fluor-647N Antibody is an antibody targeting Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1, Capsaicin receptor, Vanilloid receptor 1, OTRPC2 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (ATTO-647N. Maximum absorption 646 nm; maximum fluorescence 664 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the range 625 - 660 nm. A suitable excitation source is the 647 nm line of the Krypton-Ion laser or a diode-laser emitting at 650 nm. It can be used in flow cytometry (FACS) using the red (637 nm) laser.). 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: Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1, Capsaicin receptor, Vanilloid receptor 1, OTRPC2 (also reported as Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1, Capsaicin receptor, Vanilloid receptor 1, OTRPC1).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Intracellular, C-terminus.
- Homology note: Mouse, guinea pig - 14/15 amino acid residues identical; human - 10/15 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #ACC-030), and immunohistochemistry (labeled antibody)..
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
- Conjugate/format: ATTO-647N. Maximum absorption 646 nm; maximum fluorescence 664 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the range 625 - 660 nm. A suitable excitation source is the 647 nm line of the Krypton-Ion laser or a diode-laser emitting at 650 nm. It can be used in flow cytometry (FACS) using the red (637 nm) laser. (may affect detection channel and background).
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
TRPV1 (also named VR1, capsaicin receptor and vanilloid receptor) is a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family, which includes TRPC, TRPM, TRPA, TRPP, TRPML and the TRPV subfamilies. The TRPV subfamily consists of six members named, TRPV1-6. The TRPV1 channel is a vanilloid gated, nonselective cation channel.The channel has sequence homology to the TRP family, and shares a similar predicted structure of six transmembrane domain (TM) with a pore loop between TM5 and TM6.1 TRPV1 is expressed predominantly in nociceptors and in sensory neurons.2,3TRPV1 has many activators among them heat, protons, vanilloids like capsaicin, resiniferatoxin (RTX), and lipids.
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.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: RIC-001-FRN.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
