Overview
This polyclonal anti-CACNA1C antibody raised in Rabbit, conjugated with FITC. Designed to detect CACNA1C in Human for neuroscience research.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Recombinant Human Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1C protein (1755-1971AA) — determines epitope; confirm sample prep compatibility.
- Host (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary matching isotype IgG.
- Polyclonal: Multiple epitopes = robust signal; lot-to-lot variability — include controls.
- Isotype (IgG): Match secondary, Protein A/G, and isotype controls to IgG.
- Purification (Protein G purification): Enriches Ig classes; reduces non-specific background.
- FITC: Direct fluorescence (Ex490/Em525); protect from light; use antifade.
Biological background

Expression, localization, and PTMs vary across cell types and disease states. Consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current CACNA1C annotation relevant to neuroscience.
Common research applications
- Refer to product documentation for confirmed application data.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: IgG from Rabbit at equivalent concentration.
- Cross-reactivity: Polyclonal: validate with KO/KD controls.
- Matrix effects: Verify dilution linearity in your sample matrix.
- Reactivity: Confirmed for Human; extrapolation requires validation.
This product is a polyclonal antibody purified from rabbit antiserum.
CACNA1C is a protein studied in Human biology. This polyclonal antibody raised in Rabbit detects CACNA1C in immunoassay applications, IgG isotype.
Reported reactive against Human. Immunogen from Human. Cross-reactivity with untested species requires empirical confirmation.
Application data not specified. Consult datasheet or contact BioHippo support.
FITC (Ex490/Em525): direct fluorescence; protect from light; use antifade for sections.
(1) Isotype control: IgG from Rabbit; (2) Positive control: lysate/cell line expressing CACNA1C; (3) Negative control: siRNA KD or KO; (4) Dilution linearity in your sample matrix.
