Scientific background
All L-type calcium channels are encoded by one of the CaV1 channel genes. These channels play a major role as a Ca2+ entry pathway in skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscles as well as in neurons, endocrine cells and possibly in non-excitable cells such as hematopoetic and epithelial cells. All CaV1 channels are influenced by dihydropyridines (DHP) and are also referred to as DHP receptors.
While the CaV1.1 and CaV1.4 isoforms are expressed in restricted tissues (skeletal muscle and retina, respectively), the expression of CaV1.2 is ubiquitous and CaV1.3 channels are found in the heart, brain and pancreas. Several peptidyl toxins are described that are specific L-type channel blockers, but so far no selective blocker for one of the CaV1 isoforms have been described. These include the Mamba toxins Calcicludine (#SPC-650), Calciseptine (#C-500) and FS-2 (#F-700).
Lyophilized Powder
Anti-CaV1.2 (CACNA1C) Antibody (#ACC-003) is a highly specific antibody directed against an epitope of the rat protein. The antibody can be used in western blot, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, and indirect flow cytometry applications. It has been designed to recognize CaV1.2 from mouse, rat, and human samples.

Expression of CaV1.2 in mouse brainImmunohistochemical staining of mouse brain sections using Anti-CaV1.2 (CACNA1C) Antibody (#ACC-003). A. CaV1.2 is detected (green) in the membrane of the soma and the base of the apical dendrites of pyramidal cells in layer II/III of the piriform cortex. B. In neocortex such as the motor cortex, CaV1.2 is also expressed in the shaft of apical dendrites.
