Scientific background

The γ subunit protein is an auxiliary subunit of the Ca_V (voltage-dependent calcium) channel multimer complex. γ1 was first identified in skeletal muscle as a part of the proteins complex purified as the DHP receptor. Eight γ subunit isoforms were identified in mammalian genomes and they share some sequence as well as structure homology.¹γ subunit contains four transmembrane helices, with intracellular N- and C- termini. Usually their association with the pore-forming α1 subunit results in reduced current amplitude.

Ca_Vγ2 is also known as Stargazin, and interacts and regulates the activity and trafficking of AMPA glutamate receptors.²

Scientific Background

Specific Control Product

Stargazin Blocking Peptide (#BLP-CC012) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-Stargazin Antibody (#ACC-012) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-Stargazin primary antibody, this makes it a good negative reagent control to help confirm antibody specificity in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. This control is also often called a pre-adsorption control.
