Label ATTO-550. Maximum absorption 554 nm; maximum fluorescence 576 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 540 - 565 nm range. This label is related to the dye Rhodamine 6G and can be used with filters used to detect Rhodamine.
Storage before reconstitution The antibody ships as a lyophilized powder at room temperature. Upon arrival, it should be stored at -20°C.
Reconstitution 50 µl double distilled water (DDW).
Antibody concentration after reconstitution 1 mg/ml.
Storage after reconstitution The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4°C, protected from the light, for up to 1 week. For longer periods, small aliquots should be stored at -20°C. Avoid multiple freezing and thawing. Centrifuge all antibody preparations before use (10000 × g 5 min).
Standard quality control of each lot Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #ACC-034), and immunohistochemistry (labeled antibody).
Applications: if, ih

Immunohistochemistry
Rat dorsal root ganglion frozen section (1:20).
Expression of TRPV4 in rat DRG
Immunohistochemical staining of rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) frozen sections with Anti-TRPV4-ATTO Fluor-550Antibody (#ACC-034-AO), (1:20). TRPV4 is present in DRG neurons (red). Note that staining is stronger in small cells (arrows). Hoechst 33342 is used as the counterstain.
Scientific background
TRP channels are a large family (about 28 genes) of plasma membrane, non-selective cationic channels that are either specifically or ubiquitously expressed in excitable and non-excitable cells1. According to IUPHAR the TRP family comprises of three main subfamilies on the basis of sequence homology; TRPC, TRPM and TRPV (to date, three extra subfamilies are considered to belong to the TRP family; the TRPA, TRPML, and TRPP)1-4. The TRPV subfamily consists of six members, TRPV1-65.
TRPV4 (also named OTRPC4) is activated under hypotonic conditions and serves as an osmoreceptor. TRPV4 is expressed in brain, liver, kidney, heart, testis and salivary gland6.
Alomone Labs offers a highly specific antibody directed against an intracellular epitope of TRPV4. Anti-TRPV4 Antibody (#ACC-034) can be used in western blot, immunocytochemical, and immunohistochemical applications and recognizes TRPV4 from rat samples.
