Product Information
FormatAffinity Purified
Control
  • Included free of charge with the antibody is 40 μg of control antigen. The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of sterile distilled water. For negative control, preincubate 1 μg of peptide with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.
PresentationAffinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA, and 0.05% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 50 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min).
Quality LevelMQ100
Applications
ApplicationDetect Calcium Channel Cav3.3 using this Anti-Calcium Channel Cav3.3 Antibody validated for use in WB.
Key Applications
  • Western Blotting
Application NotesWestern blot: 1:200 using ECL on rat brain membrane proteins.

Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%)

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

SUGGESTED WESTERN BLOT PROTOCOL

1. Mix the samples (organ membranes: 50 μg/lane; transfected cells: 500,000 cells/lane) with sample-buffer X 2, and heat 10 min at 70°C.

2. 5-50 μL applied to Minigel lane (0.75-1.5 mm width) and run at standard conditions. (60 mA for 2 1.5 mm Minigel gels, 1.4 h). It is suggested that you run 5-15% acrylamide (37.5:1 acrylamide:bisacrysmide) minigel (1.5 mm width) at 30 mA/gel ~1-1.5 hours.

3. Transfer in semi-dry system under standard conditions (3 h 100 mA for two minigel gels)

4. Stain the transferred bands with Chemicon BLOT-FastStain (Catalog Number 2076).

5. Destain with deionized water.

6. Block with 5% non-fat milk (Marvel or Carnation) in PBS, and 0.025 % sodium azide, overnight at 2-8°C. The non-fat milk should be dissolved freshly, centrifuged 10,000 rpm for 10 min, and filtered through glass filter (Gelman Acrodisc).

7. Incubation with first antibody 2 h at room temperature or overnight at 4°C in blocking solution. The antibody preparation should be centrifuged before use (10,000 g 5 min.). Optimal working dilutions and incubation time will need to be determined by the end user.

8. Wash 4 x 10 min. with PBS-0.1% tween 20. From this stage, azide should be omitted.

9. Incubation with the secondary antibody (HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody, for example Chemicon Catalog Number AP132P, diluted appropriately) 1 h at room temperature.

10. Wash 4 x 10 min. with PBS-0.1% tween 20.

11. Perform ECL with commercial kits (Chemilucent, Chemicon Catalog Number 2600).

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryVoltage-dependent calcium channels control the rapid entry of Ca(2+) into a variety of cell types and are therefore involved in both electrical and cellular signaling. T-type channels, such as CACNA1I, are activated by small membrane depolarizations and can generate burst firing and pacemaker activity.[supplied by OMIM]

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q9P0X4 # 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. Isoform alpha-1I gives rise to T-type calcium currents. T-type calcium channels belong to the low-voltage activated (LVA) group and are strongly blocked by nickel and mibefradil. A particularity of this type of channels is an opening at quite negative potentials, and a voltage-dependent inactivation. T-type channels serve pacemaking functions in both central neurons and cardiac nodal cells and support calcium signaling in secretory cells and vascular smooth muscle. They may also be involved in the modulation of firing patterns of neurons which is important for information processing as well as in cell growth processes. Gates in voltage ranges similar to, but higher than alpha 1G or alpha 1H (By similarity).


SIZE: 2223 amino acids; 245103 Da

SUBUNIT: Interacts with CATSPER1 and CATSPER2, leading to suppress T-type calcium channel activity.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Brain specific.


DOMAIN: SwissProt: Q9P0X4 Each of the four internal repeats contains five hydrophobic transmembrane segments (S1, S2, S3, S5, S6) and one positively charged transmembrane segment (S4). S4 segments probably represent the voltage-sensor and are characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position.

PTM: In response to raising of intracellular calcium, the T-type channels are activated by CaM-kinase II (By similarity).


SIMILARITY: Belongs to the calcium channel alpha-1 subunit family.
