Gene Information

human ... TRPM5(29850)

General description

TRPM5 is a Ca+-activated channel that is involved in the transduction of umami, sweet and bitter tastes. Voltage, temperature, acidic pH and phosphoinositides are known to modulate TRPM5 function. It regulates mucin secretion in colon and pheromone transduction in olfactory epithelia. TRPM5 has been studied as a target for obesity treatment.
Rabbit Anti-TRPM5 antibody recognizes human, canine, and mouse TRPM5.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human TRPM5

Application

Rabbit Anti-TRPM5 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TRPM5 is a voltage-modulated Ca(2+)-activated, monovalent cation channel (VCAM) that mediates a transient membrane depolarization and plays a central role in taste transduction. It is activated by arachidonic acid in vitro. It may be involved in perception of bitter, sweet and umami tastes. It may also be involved in sensing semiochemicals.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: EKHISEQRAGYGGTGSIEIPVLCLLVNGDPNTLERISRAVEQAAPWLILV

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Growing evidence suggests that the main olfactory epithelium contains a subset of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) responding to pheromones. One candidate subpopulation expresses the calcium activated cation channel TRPM5 (transient receptor potential channel M5). Using GFP driven by the TRPM5

TRPM5 is a cation channel that it is essential for transduction of bitter, sweet and umami tastes. Signaling of these tastes involves the activation of G protein-coupled receptors that stimulate phospholipase C (PLC) beta2, leading to the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol
