Application

Rabbit Anti-TRPM5 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 0.5 µg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TRPM5 is a voltage-modulated Ca(2+)-activated, monovalent cation channel (VCAM) that mediates a transient membrane depolarization and plays a central role in taste transduction. It is activated by arachidonic acid in vitro. It may be involved in perception of bitter, sweet and umami tastes. It may also be involved in sensing semiochemicals.

General description

TRPM5 is a Ca⁺-activated channel that is involved in the transduction of umami, sweet and bitter tastes. Voltage, temperature, acidic pH and phosphoinositides are known to modulate TRPM5 function. It regulates mucin secretion in colon and pheromone transduction in olfactory epithelia. TRPM5 has been studied as a target for obesity treatment.Rabbit Anti-TRPM5 antibody recognizes human, canine, and mouse TRPM5.
