- Extra Details:
- 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3A (UniProt P46098; also known as 5-HT-3, 5-HT3-A, 5-HT3A, 5-HT3R, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3, Serotonin receptor 3A, Serotonin-gated ion channel receptor) is encoded by the HTR3A (also known as 5HT3R, HTR3) gene (Gene ID 3359) in human. Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is synthesized in enterochromaffin cells in the intestine and in serotonergic nerve terminals. In the periphery, 5-HT mediates gastrointestinal motility, platelet aggregation, and contraction of blood vessels. Many functions of the central nervous system are influenced by 5-HT, including sleep, motor activity, sensory perception, arousal and appetite. A family of 12 GPCRs and one ion channel mediate the biological effects of 5-HT. 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3 (5-HT3R) is a ligand-gated ion channel involved in many neurophysiological functions and is widely expressed throughout the brain and in peripheral organs. Five different subunits (A through E) have been identified, with the homopentameric 5-HT3A being the most studied form. 5-HT3A is produced with a signal peptide sequence (aa1-23), which is removed posttranslationally to yield the mature 4-transmembrane (aa242-268, 274-292, 303-321, 456-475) ion channel with both its N- and C-terminal ends exposed extracellularly (aa24-241 and 476-478). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:1000 detects serotonin receptor 3A/HTR3A in human prostate cancer, as well as in normal cerebral cortex, heart and tonsil tissue sections. Western Blot: 1ug/ml detects serotonin receptor 3A/HTR3A in 10ug of human cerebral cortex tissue lysate Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
