Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from the 4th cytoplasmic loop of rat TRPV4 (VRL-2, VRL2) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.
The location of the epitope is highlighted in
green.
Accession
Also known
Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4, TrpV4, osm-9-like TRP channel 4, OTRPC4, Vanilloid receptor-related, smotically-activated channel, VR-OAC, Vroac, Otrpc4
Target
TRPV4 is a cation-selective channel, activated in response to systemic osmotic pressure.
FUNCTION: Non-selective calcium permeant cation channel probably involved in osmotic sensitivity and mechanosensitivity. Activation by exposure to hypotonicity within the physiological range exhibits an outward rectification. Also activated by low pH, citrate and phorbol esters. Increase of intracellular Ca(2+) potentiates currents. Channel activity seems to be regulated by a calmodulin-dependent mechanism with a negative feedback mechanism.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with calmodulin. Interacts with Map7 and Src family Tyr protein kinases LYN, SRC, FYN, HCK, LCK and YES.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed lung, spleen, kidney, testis, fat, and at very low levels in trigeminal ganglia.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the transient receptor family, TrpV subfamily.
SIMILARITY: Contains 3 ANK repeats.
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.
