Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

IP3 Receptor Antibody detects endogenous levels of total IP3 receptor type 1 protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide surrounding Met2750 of human IP3 receptor. Antibodies are purified by protein A chromatography.

Background

Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor, also known as IP3R or InsP3R, is a member of the intracellular calcium release channel family, and is located in the endoplasmic reticulum. It functions as a Ca2+ release channel for intracellular stores of calcium ions. There are three types of IP3 receptors (IP3 receptor 1, 2 and 3) that require the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) for activation (1). Four individual receptor subunits, resulting in homo- or hetero-oligomerization of the receptor isoform, form a functional channel (2). Phosphorylation of IP3R1 at Ser1756 by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) regulates the sensitivity of IP3R1 to IP3 and may thus be a mode of regulation for Ca2+ release (3,4). IP3R1 mediated calcium release appears to have an effect on the induction of long term depression (LTD) in Purkinje cells (5).
