Functional Studies - (E)-Capsaicin, Vanilloid receptor agonist (ab141000)Capsaicin induces Ca2+ influx via activation of TRPV1 channels expressed in C6 cells. Cells were loaded with Fluo-3 AM (ab145254) and stimulated with Capsaicin (ab141000). Changes in intracellular Ca2+ were detected via changes in Fluo-3 emission following application. The left panel shows normalized fluorescence before and after application (at 20 seconds) of 0-10 µM Capsaicin (as indicated). The right panel shows normalized fluorescence plotted against Capsaicin concentrations.
