Three Ca2+ ATPases have been described in mammalian cells. They are located in the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum or the Golgi apparatus. SERCA pumps are located in both the endoplasmic reticulum and in the Golgi membranes. They are known to transport two Ca2+ molecules per hydrolysis of one ATP1. Their structure includes ten transmembrane domains and their main role is to remove cytoplasmic Ca2+ ions in order to promote muscle relaxation1.
In mammals three genes encode three SERCA pumps. Each transcript undergoes tissue-dependent alternative splicing. SERCA1a and 1b are expressed in adult and neonatal skeletal muscle respectively. SERCA2a is also expressed in skeletal muscle, while SERCA2b is ubiquitously expressed. SERCA3 is expressed in a limited number of non-muscle cells2. Although all SERCAs are regulated, SERCA2b undergoes extensive regulation at the protein level, such as protein-protein interaction, phosphorylation and glycosylation1.
The expression of SERCA1 in mice is essential3 whereas in human its absence is tolerated but is the cause of Brody myopathy4. Malfunction of SERCAs is also observed in heart disease and different forms of cancer1.
Anti-SERCA1 Antibody (#ACP-011) is a highly specific antibody directed against an epitope of the rat protein. The antibody can be used in western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry applications. It has been designed to recognize SERCA1 from rat, mouse, and human samples.
Multiplex staining of SERCA1 and TRPV2 in mouse heart.Immunohistochemical staining of mouse heart immersion-fixed, free floating frozen sections, using rabbit Anti-SERCA1 Antibody (#ACP-011) (1:200) and Guinea pig Anti-TRPV2 (VRL1) (extracellular) Antibody (#ACC-039-GP), (1:200). A. SERCA1 staining (green) appears in T tubules (arrows). B. TRPV2 staining (red) in same section is detected in intercalated discs (diagonal arrows) and T tubules (horizontal arrow). C. Merge of panels A and B demonstrates co-localization of SERCA1 and TRPV2. Nuclei are stained using DAPI (blue).
