Target/Specificity | This CATSPER1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 36-65 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human CATSPER1. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | CATSPER1 Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CATSPER1 |
---|---|
Function | Pore-forming subunit of the CatSper complex, a sperm-specific voltage-gated calcium channel that plays a central role in calcium- dependent physiological responses essential for successful fertilization, such as sperm hyperactivation, acrosome reaction and chemotaxis towards the oocyte. |
Cellular Location | Cell projection, cilium, flagellum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91ZR5}. Note=Specifically located in the principal piece of the sperm tail. |
Tissue Location | Testis-specific. |

Background
Calcium ions play a primary role in the regulation of sperm motility. This gene belongs to a family of putative cation channels that are specific to spermatozoa and localize to the flagellum. The protein family features a single repeat with six membrane-spanning segments and a predicted calcium-selective pore region.
