Anti-TRPV4 Antibody Picoband®, APC Conjugate

Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4 is an ion channel protein that in humans is encoded by the TRPV4 gene. This gene encodes a member of the OSM9-like transient receptor potential channel (OTRPC) subfamily in the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of ion channels. The encoded protein is a Ca2+-permeable, nonselective cation channel that is thought to be involved in the regulation of systemic osmotic pressure. Mutations in this gene are the cause of spondylometaphyseal and metatropic dysplasia and hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type IIC. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

E.coli-derived human TRPV4 recombinant protein (Position: R64-D408). Human TRPV4 shares 97.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat TRPV4.
