ID Tag
Rb1863-270812-WS

Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from aa region of 2150-2210 of rat CACNA1A conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in mouse.

Accession

Also known
BI, Brain calcium channel I, Cach4, Cacn3, Cacna1a, Cacnl1a4, Calcium channel L type alpha-1 polypeptide, Voltage-dependent P/Q-type calcium channel alpha-1A subunit, Voltage-gated calcium channel alpha subunit Cav2.1

Target
FUNCTION: Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death. The isoform alpha-1A gives rise to P and/or Q-type calcium currents. P/Q-type calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group and are blocked by the funnel toxin (Ftx) and by the omega-agatoxin-IVA (omega-Aga-IVA). They are however insensitive to dihydropyridines (DHP), and omega-conotoxin-GVIA (omega-CTx-GVIA).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Brain specific; mainly found in cerebellum, cerebral cortex, thalamus and hypothalamus. No expression in heart, kidney, liver or muscle. Purkinje cells contain predominantly P-type VSCC, the Q-type being a prominent calcium current in cerebellar granule cells.

Storage
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Expiry Date
12 months after reconstitution

Shipping
This item will be shipped to you at ambient temperature in a lyophilised form.
