Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 5 (gene TRPV5) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 82.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 83 kDa.
TRPV5 is a highly calcium-selective channel of the vanilloid TRP subfamily found mainly in the distal kidney tubule. It is constitutively open at low intracellular calcium and provides the entry step for active calcium reabsorption from urine, with calcium-dependent feedback limiting its activity. It can combine with TRPV6 and is studied in calcium homeostasis.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): monkey COS-7 cells, human U-87MG cells, human HeLa cells, human HepG2 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, 50 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 1:10000, ECL detection.

Immunogen
E. coli-derived human TRPV5 recombinant protein (Position: Q14-Q74+H636-F729).
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 5 in the apical cell membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed at high levels in kidney, small intestine and pancreas, and at lower levels in testis, prostate, placenta, brain, colon and rectum. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
