Vanilloid Receptor-1 (VR-1) is a cation channel protein that stimulates a burning pain sensation upon binding to capsaicin, a component of ′hot′ chilli peppers. VR-1 is also activated by noxious heat stimuli. Moreover, VR-1 can combine both, heat and chemical stimuli to cause a sensation of pain in vivo.
Specificity
Anti-Vanilloid Receptor-1 antibody is specific for vanilloid receptor-1 (90 kDa) in rats. The vanilloid receptor-1 immunizing peptide (rat, amino acids 817-838) specifically inhibits the staining of the vanilloid receptor-1 band in immunoblotting.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of rat vanilloid receptor-1 (amino acids 817-838) conjugated to KLH. The sequence is highly conserved in guinea pig (~85% identity) and human (~70% identity) and is not found in rat VRL-1.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Capsaicin, the main pungent ingredient in "hot" chili peppers, elicits buming pain by activating specific (vanilloid) receptors on sensory nerve endings. The cloned vanilloid receptor (VR1) is a cation channel that is also activated by noxious heat. Here, analysis of

The potential transient vanilloid receptor type 1 (TRPV1) plays important functional roles in the vascular system. In the present study, we explored the role of the TRPV1 in the production of nitric oxide (NO), biopterines (BH4 and BH2), cyclic guanosine
We have studied whether functional TRPV1 channels exist in the INS-1E cells, a cell type used as a model for β-cells, and in primary β-cells from rat and human. The effects of the TRPV1 agonists capsaicin and AM404 on the
