Gene Information
mouse ... Cacna1c(12288)
rat ... Cacna1c(24239)
Specificity
The epitope recognized by this antibody is masked by α2 and δ chains; therefore, the antibody binds only after subunit dissociation using Triton X-100 or other detergents.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1506-1524 of the α1S subunit of rat skeletal muscle voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC, CP15) (Accession P22002) with additional N-terminal cysteine, conjugated to MBS-KLH.
Application
Anti-Calcium Channel (α1 Subunit), Pan antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for immunohistochemistry (using rat heart sections) and western blotting at a dilution of 1:200 using rat brain membranes.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, L type, α1C subunit (Cav1.2) is a protein encoded by the CACNA1C gene in humans and belongs to the family of voltage-gated calcium channels. It serves as the key transducers of cell surface membrane potential changes into local intracellular calcium transients that initiate different physiological events. CACNA1C is a subunit of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel. It is mapped to chromosome 12p13.3 and is implicated as a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia. CACNA1C is selectively expressed in human TH2 cells and blockage of Cav1.2 channel activation in TH2 cells may represent new strategies to treat allergic diseases in human subjects. Its increased activity is implicated in the pathogenesis of dementia and Alzheimer′s disease (AD).
Physical form
Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin, 5% sucrose and 0.025% sodium azide.

Antibodies that recognize the alpha 2 delta and alpha 1 subunits of skeletal muscle L-type calcium channels have been used to investigate the subunit components and phosphorylation of omega-conotoxin (omega-CgTx)-sensitive N-type calcium channels from rabbit brain. Photolabeling of the N-type

Defective retinal synaptic transmission in patients affected with congenital stationary night blindness type 2 (CSNB2) can result from different dysfunction phenotypes in Cav1.4 L-type calcium channels. Here we investigated two prototypical Cav1.4 variants from either end of the functional spectrum.

The alpha 1 subunit of the skeletal muscle Ca2+ channel has been specifically photoaffinity labeled with the phenylalkylamine-receptor-selective verapamil derivative (-)-5-(3-azidophenethyl[N-methyl-3H]methylamino)-2-(3,4,5- trimethoxyphenyl)-2-isopropylvaleronitrile ([N-methyl-3H]LU49888). Proteolytic fragments generated by various endoproteases were probed by immunoprecipitation with several sequence-specific antibodies to determine the
