Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from the internal region of human CACNA2D4 conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen. The antigen shares 95% identity with mouse sequence.
Accession
Also known
Voltage-dependent calcium channel subunit alpha-2/delta-4, Voltage-gated calcium channel subunit alpha-2/delta-4
Target
FUNCTION: The alpha-2/delta subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels regulates calcium current density and activation/inactivation kinetics of the calcium channel. Defects in CACNA2D4 are the cause of retinal cone dystrophy 4 (RCD4). RCD4 is characterized by minimal symptoms except for slowly progressive reduction in visual acuity.
Tissue specificity: Predominantly expressed in certain types of endocrine cells. Present in the Paneth cells of the small intestine. Also present in the erythroblasts in the fetal liver, in the cells of the zona reticularis of the adrenal gland and in the basophiles of the pituitary. Present at low level in some brain regions such as the cerebellum (at protein level).
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein
Miscellaneous: In contrast to CACNA2D1 and CACNA2D2, it does not bind gabapentin, an antiepileptic drug.
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
