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.

The disease of obesity is one of the greatest healthcare challenges of our time. The increasing urgency for effective treatment is driving an intensive search for new targets for anti-obesity drug discovery. The TRP channel super family represents a class

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
Tuft cells are a group of rare epithelial cells that can detect pathogenic microbes and parasites. Many of these cells express signaling proteins initially found in taste buds. It is, however, not well understood how these taste signaling proteins contribute

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
Mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) is secreted by goblet cells of the respiratory tract and, surprisingly, also expressed de novo in mucus secreting cancer lines. siRNA-mediated knockdown of 7343 human gene products in a human colonic cancer goblet cell line (HT29-18N2) revealed
