| CatalogCode: | NB120-3528 |
| ProductName: | Calcium Pump Antibody |
| Product Description: | Rabbit Polyclonal anti-Calcium Pump |
| Clonality: | Polyclonal |
| Immunogen: | Synthetic Peptide: A(5)NNSVAYSGVKNSIKEAN(22).Immunizing peptide corresponds to amino acid residues 5-22 from rat PMCA 1 ATPase protein. This sequence is completely conserved between rat and human PMCA 1 ATPase. |
| Specificity: | Detects PMCA 1a and 1b ATPase. |
| CrossReactivity: | Cross-reacts with Rat.Expected to cross-react with Human due to sequence homology.Not yet tested in other species. |
| Packaging: | 0.1 mg Immunogen affinity purified Rabbit IgG. |
| Uses: | Western blot: use at a dilution of 1/1000.ELISA: assay dependent. Not tested in other applications.Optimal dilutions / concentrations should be determined by the end user.By Western blot, this antibody detects ~134 kDa and ~130 kDa proteins representing PMCA 1a and 1b ATPase from rat samples. |
| Localization: | Cell Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
| Background: | The calcium pump of the plasma membrane, termed PMCA ATPase, pumps calcium from the cytosol to the extracellular space. This membrane-bound enzyme is related to a number of other ATPases including the SERCA ATPase and the sodium/potassium pump. There are four different genes encoding PMCA ATPase and studies have revealed 20 isoforms of the pump generated by alternate splicing of the primary gene products. mRNA distribution studies show that gene products 1 and 4 are transcribed in most tissues, however, products 2 and 3 are more tissue specific. Transcription of the splicing variants has also been found to be tissue specific. In the pancreas, where insulin secretion is calcium dependent, the beta cells only express the 4b isoform, however the alpha and gamma cells express both 4a and 4b isoforms. Studies have also shown that different splice variants have different affinities for calcium and calmodulin. |
