Alternative NamesTransient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1; TrpV1; Capsaicin receptor; Osm-9-like TRP channel 1; OTRPC1; Vanilloid receptor 1; TRPV1; VR1; VR-1;
Application(s)IHC-Frozen
Antibody HostRabbit
Antibody TypePolyclonal
SpecificitySpecificity was confirmed by IHC using frozen sections of rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal cord. Due to sequence homology, similar staining is predicted in human DRG and spinal cord. Human, rat. Other species have not yet been tested.
Species ReactivityHuman, Rat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (PSESTSHRWRGPA) of human capsaicin receptor protein (aa: 608-621) conjugated to KLH has been used as the antigen.
Application DetailsIHC. Use at 1:1000 to 1:2000 dilution. This antibody has not been tested in other applications. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Reconstitution InstructionsSpin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 100 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
Storage InstructionsAfter reconstitution keep aliquots at -20°C for a higher stability, and at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.

Scientific BackgroundResponses evoked by low pH and heat, and capsaicin can be antagonized by capsazepine. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the transient receptor family. TrpV subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 3 ANK repeats.
Detection of capsaicin receptor in small neurons in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) using rabbit antibody to human capsaicin receptor (608-621): whole serum, catalogue number R-076-100, at 1:2000 dilution. The rat tissue was prepared by perfusion fixation with 4% formaldehyde containing 10% saturated picric acid in buffered saline. Frozen sections (40 µm) were used and the secondary antibody was conjugated with HRP. Rat spinal cord prepared in the same way also shows a high specific stain with little background.
