Rb1487-120610-WS

A synthetic peptide from aa region 10-60 of human ASIC4 conjugated to immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen.

Amiloride sensitive cation channel 4 pituitary, acid-sensing ion channel 4, spinal chord ASIC, Spasic, BNAC4

FUNCTION: Probable cation channel with high affinity for sodium. These channels have been implicated in synaptic transmission, pain perception as well as mechanoperception.
SUBUNIT: Homotetramer or heterotetramer with other ASIC proteins (Probable).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: This gene is predominantly expressed in the pituitary gland. Expressed in brain, spinal chord and dorsal root ganglion (DRG). Expressed by a subset of sensory neurons in the DRG. Expressed by granule cells in the cerebellar cortex. In hippocampus, expression is detected in dentate gyrus granule cells, in pyramidal cells of CA1-CA3 subfields and in interneurons of the striatum oriens and radiatum of all subfields. In cerebral cortex expressed in small, medium and large pyramidal cells in layers 2, 3 and 5 respectively. Also expressed in striatum, globus pallidus, inferior and superior calliculi, amygdala, magnocellular preoptic nucleus, islands of Calleja and large neurons of olfactory tubercules.
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Highly expressed in newborn spinal chord but hardly detected in the cerebellum compared to adult. Expressed at postnatal day 1 in ependymal cells lining the central canal of spinal chord and in motor neurons. In adult, expression decreases in ependymal cells and increases in motor neurons. The number of positive interneurons decreases but the individual interneuron expression increases in adult spinal chord compared to newborn.

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.
