Rabbit antibody to extracellular ASIC3 (50-100)

FUNCTION: Cation channel with high affinity for sodium, which is gated by extracellular protons and inhibited by the diuretic amiloride. Generates a biphasic current with a fast inactivating and a slow sustained phase. In sensory neurons is proposed to mediate the pain induced by acidosis that occurs in ischemic, damaged or inflamed tissue. May be involved in hyperalgesia. May play a role in mechanoreception. Heteromeric channel assembly seems to modulate channel properties.
SUBUNIT: Homotetramer or heterotetramer with other ASIC proteins (Probable). Interacts with STOM and DLG4. Interacts with LIN7B, MAGI1/BAIAP1, GOPC and ACCN1.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Note: Cell surface expression may be stabilized by interaction with LIN7B and cytoplasmic retention by interaction with DLG4. In part cytoplasmic in cochlea cells.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by sensory neurons. Strongly expressed in brain, spinal chord, lung, lymph nodes, kidney, pituitary, heart and testis.
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed in fetal tissues, expression increases in lung and kidney adult tissues.

IHC, WB. A concentration of 10-50 ug/ml is recommended. The optimal concentration should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

A synthetic peptide from aa region 50-100 of rat ASIC3 conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in mouse.
