Background

TRPV1 (Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1, also capsaicin receptor and vanilloid receptor 1) is a member of the TRPV group of the transient receptor potential family of ion channels (1, 3). Expression has been mainly reported in sensory neurons of the peripheral and central nervous system (2, 3). The receptor is activated by a wide variety of exogenous and endogenous physical and chemical stimuli like temperature greater than 42°C; acidic conditions (pH<6); vanilloids, like capsaicin, and allyl isothiocyanate (3). In addition to direct activation, TRPV1 channel activity can also be modulated by inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins and bradykinin (4). TRPV1 is involved in the detection and regulation of body temperature, as well as in the sensation of noxious environmental stimuli, like scalding heat and pain. TRPV1 acts as ionotropic endocannabinoid receptor with central neuromodulatory effects and is a prime target for the development of analgesics (5).

Cat. No. 444 005	100 µl specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 100 µl H₂O. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use. Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!
Applications	WB: not recommended IP: not recommended ICC: not tested yet IHC: 1 : 500 (see remarks) gallery IHC-P: not tested yet Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section. Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section. Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.
