Application Notes
IP: Not suitable. WB: Approx. 70 kDa band observed in rat brain lysates (calculated MW of 70.0 kDa band according to human NP_000735.1and of 70.2 kDa band according to rat NP_077330.1). An additional band of unknown identity was also consistently observed at 22 kDa. This band was successfully blocked by incubation with the immunizing peptide. An anonymous customer has reproted ~75 kDa band in both human and rat tissues as the glycoprotein.
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Background: Nicotinic Acetylcholine R alpha 4/CHRNA4

This gene encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which belongs to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that play a role in fast signal transmission at synapses. These pentameric receptors can bind acetylcholine, which causes an extensive change in conformation that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. This protein is an integral membrane receptor subunit that can interact with either nAChR beta-2 or nAChR beta-4 to form a functional receptor. Mutations in this gene cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 1. Polymorphisms in this gene that provide protection against nicotine addiction have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
