Anti-Calcium Channel (α_1B Subunit) (N-type of Voltage-gated Ca²⁺ Channel) antibody produced in rabbit

The calcium channel, voltage-dependent, N type, α1B subunit (CACNA1B) or Cav2.2 gene consists of 47 exons and 46 introns, spanning 244kb. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 9q34. The encoded protein is a member of the voltage-gated calcium channel family.

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 851-867 of the α_1B subunit of rat brain voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC, CNB1), with additional N-terminal lysine and tyrosine, conjugated to KLH.¹

Anti-Calcium Channel (α1B Subunit) (N-type of Voltage-gated Ca2+ Channel) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for the following applications:

• immunocytochemistry using rat brain sections
• immunoprecipitation
• western blotting at a dilution of 1:100-1:200 using rat brain membranes

Anti-Calcium Channel (α1B Subunit) (N-type of Voltage-gated Ca²⁺ Channel) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunofluorescence analysis.

Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, N type, α1B subunit (CACNA1B) plays a vital role in regulation of trafficking and biophysical properties of voltage-gated calcium channels. Members of voltage-gated calcium channel family act as key transducers of cell surface membrane potential changes to local intracellular calcium transients that initiate various physiological events. The N-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) expressed mainly in the neurons, facilitate neurotransmitter release at the sympathetic nerve terminals. CACNA1B is expressed on presynaptic nerve terminals of nociceptors control neurotransmitter release.

Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide.
