HTR3A (5-hydroxytryptamine Receptor 3A, 5-HT3-A, 5-HT3A, 5-hydroxytryptamine Receptor 3, 5-HT-3, 5-HT3R, Serotonin Receptor 3A, Serotonin-gated Ion Channel Receptor, 5HT3R, HTR3)

This is one of the several different receptors for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. This receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel, which when activated causes fast, depolarizing responses in neurons. It is a cation-specific, but otherwise relatively nonselective, ion channel.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nELISA: 1:128,000\nWestern Blot: 0.3-1ug/ml, observed in human colon lysates on ~55kD bands\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
