Background

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are members of a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that mediatefast signal transmission at synapses. The nAChRs are thought to be hetero-pentamers composed of homologous subunits.The proposed structure for each subunit is a conserved N-terminal extracellular domain followed by three conservedtransmembrane domains, a variable cytoplasmic loop, a fourth conserved transmembrane domain, and a short C-terminalextracellular region. The protein encoded by this gene forms a homo-oligomeric channel, displays marked permeabilityto calcium ions and is a major component of brain nicotinic receptors that are blocked by, and highly sensitive to,alpha-bungarotoxin. Once this receptor binds acetylcholine, it undergoes an extensive change in conformation thataffects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. This gene islocated in a region identified as a major susceptibility locus for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and a chromosomallocation involved in the genetic transmission of schizophrenia. An evolutionarily recent partial duplication event inthis region results in a hybrid containing sequence from this gene and a novel FAM7A gene. (provided by RefSeq)

FAQs for Nicotinic Acetylcholine R alpha 7/CHRNA7 ELISA Kit (NBP3-31238). (Showing 1 - 2 of 2 FAQ).

1. I am doing research on Neuroscience and I would like to use some antibodies, especially in Western Blots, but I could do other assays: - alpha7 nicotinic cholinergic receptor; - parvalbumin; - calbindin D28K; The preferred reactivity is anti-human and anti-mouse. Do you have these antibodies? Are they in stock? And what about the prizes: How much are they? How much are the shipping costs? Could you make me any offer?
   • We currently have three alpha7 nicotinic cholingergic receptor antibodies available for purchase. Please see this list for our Parvalbumin antibodies. None are currently validated in mouse. I would like to introduce you to our Innovators Reward Program. We have an excelent calbinin D28K antibody that has been validated for use in human and mouse and WB. The pricing and availability of our products depends on your country.
2. I am looking to buy antibodies against most of the nicotinic receptor subunits for WB and IHC application. Could you please indicate which of your antibodies have been used by other researchers and provide publications showing their use? Thanks.
   • A list of our antibodies directed against he nicotinic acetylcholine receptors can be found here. Any products with publications will be indicated on the search page and can be found under the publications tab on the individual product's datasheet. Furthermore, we guarantee all of our products for the applications and species list on the datasheet. This should help narrow down your search.
