Two proton-gated channels, acid-sensing ionic channel (ASIC) and dorsal root ASIC (DRASIC), are known to be expressed by sensory neurons. These types of channels are of interest because low pH causes pain. ASIC Beta, a splice variant of ASIC, is found only in a subset of small and large diameter sensory neurons and is absent from sympathetic neurons or the central nervous system..
Positive Control: Rat spinal cord. Staining was blocked by preabsorption with the cognate peptide.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
