Gene Information

General description

The calcium channel, voltage-dependent, N type, α1B subunit (CACNA1B) or Cav2.2 gene consists of 47 exons and 46 introns, spanning 244kb. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 9q34. The encoded protein is a member of the voltage-gated calcium channel family.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 851-867 of the α1B subunit of rat brain voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC, CNB1), with additional N-terminal lysine and tyrosine, conjugated to KLH.1

Application

Anti-Calcium Channel (α1B Subunit) (N-type of Voltage-gated Ca2+ Channel) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for the following applications:
  • immunocytochemistry using rat brain sections
  • immunoprecipitation
  • western blotting at a dilution of 1:100-1:200 using rat brain membranes
Anti-Calcium Channel (α1B Subunit) (N-type of Voltage-gated Ca2+ Channel) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunofluorescence analysis.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunoprecipitation (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, N type, α1B subunit (CACNA1B) plays a vital role in regulation of trafficking and biophysical properties of voltage-gated calcium channels. Members of voltage-gated calcium channel family act as key transducers of cell surface membrane potential changes to local intracellular calcium transients that initiate various physiological events. The N-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) expressed mainly in the neurons, facilitate neurotransmitter release at the sympathetic nerve terminals. CACNA1B is expressed on presynaptic nerve terminals of nociceptors control neurotransmitter release.

Physical form

Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide.

Spontaneous Ca2+ transients and actin dynamics in primary motoneurons correspond to cellular differentiation such as axon elongation and growth cone formation. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor trkB support both motoneuron survival and synaptic differentiation. However, in motoneurons effects

In the central nervous system, most synapses show a fast mode of neurotransmitter release known as synchronous release followed by a phase of asynchronous release, which extends over tens of milliseconds to seconds. Synapsin II (SYN2) is a member of

Loss-of-function mutations in proline-rich transmembrane protein-2 (PRRT2) cause paroxysmal disorders associated with defective Ca2+ dependence of glutamatergic transmission. We find that either acute or constitutive PRRT2 deletion induces a significant decrease in the amplitude of evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (eEPSCs)
