    Reproducibility is key to advancing scientific discovery and accelerating scientists’ next breakthrough.

    Abcam is leading the way with our range of recombinant antibodies, knockout-validated antibodies and knockout cell lines, all of which support improved reproducibility.

    We are also planning to innovate the way in which we present recommended applications and species on our product datasheets, so that only applications & species that have been tested in our own labs, our suppliers or by selected trusted collaborators are covered by our Abpromise™ guarantee.

    In preparation for this, we have started to update the applications & species that this product is Abpromise guaranteed for.

    We are also updating the applications & species that this product has been “predicted to work with,” however this information is not covered by our Abpromise guarantee.

    Applications & species from publications and Abreviews that have not been tested in our own labs or in those of our suppliers are not covered by the Abpromise guarantee.

Target

  • Function

    Component of mechanosensitive channel required for the mechanosensitive currents. Plays a key role in epithelial cell adhesion by maintaining integrin activation through R-Ras recruitment to the ER, most probably in its activated state, and subsequent stimulation of calpain signaling.
  • Tissue specificity

    Expressed in numerous tissues. In normal brain, expressed exclusively in neurons, not in astrocytes. In Alzheimer disease brains, expressed in about half of the activated astrocytes located around classical senile plaques. In Parkinson disease substantia nigra, not detected in melanin-containing neurons nor in activated astrocytes.
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the PIEZO family.
  • Cellular localization

    Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane. Cell membrane.
  • Target information above from: UniProt accession Q92508 The UniProt Consortium

    Question

    1) Frozen sections. We either do immersed PFA fixation prior to freezing samples for sectioning, or we do fresh frozen tissue and fix with PFA prior to immunohistochemistry.

    2) Mouse is the priority, but it would be beneficial if it also worked in rat and human.

    Asked on Apr 03 2012

    Answer

    Thanks for the additional details.

    Since you're using frozen sections, I'd suggest using ab128245 as its already been tested in IHC-Fr on human samples. Although it has not been tested on mouse or rat samples that we know of, based on the similarity of theimmunogen sequenceto mouse andrat proteinab128245 is predicted to react with these species. Since you are interested in testing this antibody in untested species, you may be interested in the testing discount program described below where we describe how you can earn a FREE primary antibody of your choice:

    Answer

    Thank you for your enquiry.

    I would be happy to help you choose the most appropriate antibody for your IHC experiment. I just have a couple additional questions about your experiment:

    1. Will you be using frozen sections or paraffin embedded sections?

    2. What species of tissue will you be using?

    Thanks in advance for the additional information!
