Gene Information

General description

Adrenergic receptors (ARs) are members of the 7-transmembrane domain G protein-coupled receptor superfamily that bind the endogenous catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine. Pharmacological, structural, and molecular cloning data indicate significant heterogeneity within this receptor family. Nine receptor subtypes have been identified thus far including three α1AR subtypes (α1A/D, α1B, and α1C), three α2ARs (α2A, α2B, and α2C), and three βAR subtypes (β1, β2, and β3). Adrenergic receptors participate in either the onset or maintenance of several disease states including hypertension, cardiac dysfunction (congestive heart failure, ischemia, arrhythmias), diabetes, glaucoma, depression, and impotence.
Adrenergic receptors are a G-protien coupled receptors that exist in two forms, α or β. Ligands for adrenergic receptors are catecholamines that induce a sympathetic response in animal cells.
Rabbit polyclonal Anti-α1 Adrenergic Receptor antibody is human α1 adrenergic receptor subtype-specific and cross-reacts with rat and mouse α1 adrenergic receptor in immunoblotting. It detects α1 adrenergic receptor in mouse kidney membrane preparations by immunoblotting and stains plasma membrane of mouse kidney distal tubule cells in immunofluorescence.

Immunogen

A270 is produced by immunizing New Zealand white rabbits with a synthetic peptide corresponding to aa residues 339-349 of human alpha 1a adrenergic receptor. This sequence is 100% conserved within the 3rd intracellular loop of all alpha1 adrenergic receptors. Peptide sequence: K339-F-S-R-E-K-K-A-A-K-T349

Application

Rabbit polyclonal Anti-α1 Adrenergic Receptor antibody is used for the localization and detection of the α1 adrenergic receptor (~ 60 kDa). It can be used in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence techniques.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 1 mg/ml BSA and 0.05% sodium azide.

In certain forms of nerve injury and inflammation, noradrenaline augments pain via actions on up-regulated α1-adrenoceptors (α1-ARs). The aim of this study was to use immunohistochemistry to examine α1-AR expression on peripheral neurons, cutaneous blood vessels and keratinocytes after distal

Reactive oxygen/nitrogen species are readily generated in vivo, playing roles in many physiological and pathological conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, by oxidatively modifying various proteins. Previous studies indicate that large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (BK(Ca) or Slo)

After peripheral nerve injury, nociceptive afferents acquire an abnormal excitability to adrenergic agents, possibly due to an enhanced expression of α1-adrenoceptors (α1-ARs) on these nerve fibres. To investigate this in the present study, changes in α1-AR expression on nerve fibres

The α1 -adrenoceptor agonist, phenylephrine, is used at high concentrations as a mydriatic agent and for the treatment of nasal congestion. Among its adverse side-effects transient burning sensations are reported indicating activation of the trigeminal nociceptive system. Neuropeptide release, calcium
