Background InformationVoltage-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-1c gives rise to l-type calcium currents. Long-lasting (l-type) calcium channels belong to the "high-voltage activated" (hva) group. They are blocked by dihydropyridines (dhp), phenylalkylamines, benzothiazepines, and by omega-agatoxin-IIIA (omega-aga-IIIA). They are however insensitive to omega-conotoxin- gvia (omega-ctx-gvia) and omega-agatoxin-IVA (omega-aga-IVA) (Swiss Prot).

Control
  • CONTROL ANTIGEN: Included free of charge with the antibody is 20 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 5% sucrose and 0.025% sodium azide). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of sterile deionized water. For negative control, preincubate 0.5-1 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, 5% sucrose as a stabilizer 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
ApplicationThis Anti-Calcium Channel Antibody, Voltage Gated α 1D is validated for use in IH, IP, WB for the detection of Calcium Channel.
Key Applications
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunoprecipitation
  • Western Blotting
Application NotesIn preparing full-length protein samples for Western blot or immunoprecipitation, the procedures should be performed at 4°C, with the following protease inhibitor mixture: pepstatin A (1 μg/mL), leupeptin (1 μg/mL), aprotinin (1 μg/mL), Pefabloc SC (0.2 mM), benzamidine (0.1 mg/mL), and calpain inhibitors I and II (8 μg/mL each).

Western blot: 1:200 using ECL on rat membrane preperations. LMW form shows a 190kDa band while the HMW form shows a 210kDa band.

Immunohistochemistry on rat brain sections.

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

Optimal working dilutions and protocols must be determined by the end user.
Biological Information
ImmunogenPurified peptide CND1 from 859-875 of alpha 1D subunit of rat brain voltage-gated calcium channel (Accession P27732).
ConcentrationPlease refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
HostRabbit
SpecificityRecognizes all forms of a Cav1.3 (alpha 1D subunit) from the voltage-gated calcium channel. Does not cross react with any other calcium channel antigens tested so far. Sequence conservation: hamster and mouse (16/17); human (15/17); chicken (12/17) residues identical.

UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q01668 # 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-1D gives rise to L-type calcium currents. Long-lasting (L-type) calcium channels belong to the high-voltage activated (HVA) group. They are blocked by dihydropyridines (DHP), phenylalkylamines, benzothiazepines, and by omega-agatoxin-IIIA (omega-Aga-IIIA). They are however insensitive to omega-conotoxin- GVIA (omega-CTx-GVIA) and omega-agatoxin-IVA (omega-Aga-IVA).
SIZE: 2161 amino acids; 245141 Da
SUBUNIT: Voltage-dependent calcium channels are multisubunit complexes, consisting of alpha-1, alpha-2, beta and delta subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. The channel activity is directed by the pore- forming and voltage-sensitive alpha-1 subunit. In many cases, this subunit is sufficient to generate voltage-sensitive calcium channel activity. The auxiliary subunits beta and alpha-2/delta linked by a disulfide bridge regulate the channel activity. Interacts with RIMBP2 (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in pancreatic islets and in brain, where it has been seen in hippocampus, basal ganglia, habenula and thalamus. No expression in skeletal muscle.
DOMAIN: SwissProt: Q01668 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.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the calcium channel alpha-1 subunit family.
