General description

DHP receptor is composed of at least four subunits. The α1 subunit contains the binding site for the DHPs and shows high sequence homology to the voltage gated Na+ channel. The α2 subunit is a large glycoprotein and the other 2 subunits are termed β and γ.

Specificity

Reacts specifically with the α1 subunit of the DHP receptor. May be used to inhibit the DHP-sensitive calcium current in BC3H1 mouse muscle cells. By immunohistochemistry, double rows of discrete punctate staining represent pairs of triads on the opposing sides of the Z-lines.

Immunogen

rabbit muscle transverse tubule dihydropyridine (DHP) receptors.

Application

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunofluorescence (1 paper)
Monoclonal Anti-Dihydropyridine Receptor (α1 Subunit) antibody produced in mouse is suitable for immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry at a working dilution of 1:500 and immunoblotting at 1:2000. It was used for the detection and localization of DHPR-1α by western blotting in skeletal muscle tissue sections of mice in a study. The antibody may be used to inhibit the DHP-sensitive calcium current in BC3H1 mouse muscle cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs) are synthetic organic compounds which can be used to identify the L-type Ca2+ channels that are found in all types of vertebrate muscle, neuronal and neuroendocrine cells. DHP receptor is part of the L-type calcium channel complex and is thought to be the voltage sensor in E-C coupling.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.05% sodium azide.

Caveolin-3, a muscle-specific caveolin-related protein, is the principal structural protein of caveolae membrane domains in striated muscle cells. Recently, we identified a novel autosomal dominant form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD-1C) in humans that is due to mutations within the

Mitsugumin 56 (MG56), also known as the membrane-bound O-acyl-transferase family member hedgehog acyltransferase-like, was identified as a new sarcoplasmic reticulum component in striated muscle.

Centronuclear myopathies (CNMs) are characterized by muscle weakness and increased numbers of central nuclei within myofibers. X-linked myotubular myopathy, the most common severe form of CNM, is caused by mutations in MTM1, encoding myotubularin (MTM1), a lipid phosphatase. To increase

Neural prostheses can restore meaningful function to paralysed muscles by electrically stimulating innervating motor axons, but fail when muscles are completely denervated, as seen in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or after a peripheral nerve or spinal cord injury. Here we show
