Anti-Calcium Transporter 1 Antibody

CaT-1 (rat/mouse 727 aa; human 725 aa, chromosome 7q33-q34; ~85 kDa) is also known as ECAC2, CAT-like (CATL) or TRPV6 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 6) contains a cytoplasmic N-terminus, 6 ankyrin repeat domains, 6 transmembrane domains, an extracellular pore region between TM5-6, and cytoplasmic C-terminus. CaT-1 shows 75% sequence identity to epithelial Ca++ channel (ECaC) protein from rabbit kidney. In rat, CaT-1 transcript (3-Kb) is expressed in duodenum, proximal jejunum cecum and colon but not in kidney; whereas ECaC in rabbit is expressed in apical cell membranes in distal part of nephron (kidney), duodenum, jejunum and placenta.

Calcium transporter 1 (CaT-1, ECAC2). The immunogen sequence has no significant homology with CaT-2 or other proteins.

Other species have not yet been tested. The immunogen sequence is 100% conserved in mouse, 88% in humans and 94% in Cat-1/htrp8A and htrp8b proteins.

Synthetic peptide near the C-terminus of rat CaT-1.

Anti-Calcium Transporter 1 Antibody detects level of Calcium Transporter 1 & has been published & validated for use in ELISA & WB.

Western blot: 1-10 µg/mL using ECL. The expected size of CaT-1 is ~83 kDa. However, posttranslational modification may alter its size depending upon the species and cell type.
Immunohistochemistry: Not tested. It is recommended that the antibody be tried at 2-20 µg/mL
ELISA: 1:10,000-1:100,000 using 50-100 ng of control peptide/well.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
