IHC image of ab39260 staining in mouse normal brain formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab39260, 0.5μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

This antibody detects a band of ~125 kDa in 4 different mouse cell lines. This is lower than the predicted molecular weight of TRPV4 on SDS-PAGE (100 kDa). However, there are published reports of TRPV4 running at >120 kDa PMID : 16368742 PMID : 12538589, possibly as a result of glycosylation.

Supplementary information

TRPV4 also known as transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 is an ion channel protein that plays a mechanical role in the human body. This protein with a mass of approximately 98 kDa is sensitive to osmotic pressure mechanical forces and temperature changes. It acts as a calcium-permeable non-selective cation channel. TRPV4 is widely expressed in various tissues including the choroid plexus as well as in the epithelial cells endothelium and certain neurons. The expression pattern suggests its involvement in various physiological processes.
Biological function summary

TRPV4 serves functions essential for osmoregulation mechanosensation and thermosensation. It often forms a complex with other proteins to modulate calcium influx which influences cellular responses. TRPV4 impacts various biological processes such as maintaining cell volume and adapting to temperature changes. Its role in regulating fluid movement across barriers like those in the choroid plexus demonstrates its involvement in maintaining homeostasis. These interactions highlight the protein's widespread influence on various cellular functions.

Pathways

TRPV4 integrates into critical signal transduction pathways that include the mechanotransduction and osmoregulation pathways. It is closely related to other TRP family members such as TRPV1 and TRPC1 within these pathways. The mechanotransduction pathway allows it to convey mechanical stimuli into electrochemical activity impacting various systems throughout the body. The osmoregulation pathway highlights its ability to sense and respond to osmotic shifts maintaining cellular and systemic equilibrium.

TRPV4 has significant links to a range of pathologies such as skeletal dysplasias and neuropathies. Mutations in TRPV4 can lead to altered channel function contributing to conditions like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and congenital distal spinal muscular atrophy. These associations often involve the misregulation of calcium homeostasis where TRPV4's interaction with proteins like TRPV1 leads to a disruption of normal cellular processes highlighting the importance of maintaining TRPV4's proper function to prevent those diseases.

Target data

Non-selective calcium permeant cation channel involved in osmotic sensitivity and mechanosensitivity (PubMed : 11094154, PubMed : 12093812, PubMed : 12538589). Activation by exposure to hypotonicity within the physiological range exhibits an outward rectification (PubMed : 12093812, PubMed : 14691263, PubMed : 16368742, PubMed : 16571723). Also activated by heat, low pH, citrate and phorbol esters (PubMed : 14691263). Increase of intracellular Ca(2+) potentiates currents. Channel activity seems to be regulated by a calmodulin-dependent mechanism with a negative feedback mechanism (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of intracellular Ca(2+) in synoviocytes (By similarity). Plays an obligatory role as a molecular component in the nonselective cation channel activation induced by 4-alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate and hypotonic stimulation in synoviocytes and also regulates production of IL-8 (By similarity). Together with PKD2, forms mechano- and thermosensitive channels in cilium (PubMed : 18695040). Promotes cell-cell junction formation in skin keratinocytes and plays an important role in the formation and/or maintenance of functional intercellular barriers (PubMed : 20413591). Negatively regulates expression of PPARGC1A, UCP1, oxidative metabolism and respiration in adipocytes (PubMed : 23021218). Regulates expression of chemokines and cytokines related to pro-inflammatory pathway in adipocytes (PubMed : 23021218). Together with AQP5, controls regulatory volume decrease in salivary epithelial cells (PubMed : 16571723). Required for normal development and maintenance of bone and cartilage (By similarity). In its inactive state, may sequester DDX3X at the plasma membrane. When activated, the interaction between both proteins is affected and DDX3X relocalizes to the nucleus (By similarity). In neurons of the central nervous system, could play a role in triggering voluntary water intake in response to increased sodium concentration in body fluid (PubMed : 27252474).
