Description: The capsaicin receptor (VR1, TRPV1) is a ligand-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel involved in detection of noxious chemical and thermal stimuli. The receptor seems to mediate proton influx and may be involved in intracellular acidosis in nociceptive neurons. It is involved in mediation of inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia. Sensitized by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases, which involves PKC isozymes and PCL. Activation by vanilloids, like capsaicin, and temperatures higher than 42 degrees Celsius, exhibits a time- and Ca2+-dependent outward rectification, followed by a long-lasting refractory state. Mild extracellular acidic pH (6.5) potentiates channel activation by noxious heat and vanilloids, whereas acidic conditions (pH less than 6) directly activate the channel. Can be activated by endogenous compounds, including 12-hydroperoxytetraenoic acid and bradykinin. Acts as ionotropic endocannabinoid receptor with central neuromodulatory effects. Triggers a form of long-term depression (TRPV1-LTD) mediated by the endocannabinoid anandamine in the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens by affecting AMPA receptors endocytosis (Ref: uniprot.org). Antibody is specific for rat/mouse VR1 protein in westerns and immunofluorescent immunohistochemistry on mouse PEG fixed DRG tissues. Pre-absorption with immunogen obliterates positive staining. Cross reactivity with other non-VR1 proteins is minimal; cross reactivity with VR1 from other species not yet tested.

Description: The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes GABA A receptor, theta subunit. GABRQ gene is mapped to chromosome Xq28 in a cluster including the genes encoding the alpha 3 and epsilon subunits of the same receptor. This gene location is also the candidate region of 2 different neurologic diseases:early-onset parkinsonism (Waisman syndrome) and X-linked mental retardation (MRX3).The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system.

Description: The 70 kDa heat shock protein Hsp70 belongs to the Hsp70 family of highly-related protein isoforms ranging in size from 66 kDa to 78 kDa. Hsc70 shares close biochemical and biological ties to Hsp70, and also belongs to the Hsp70 family. These proteins include cognate members found within major intracellular compartments and highly inducible isoforms predominantly cytoplasmic or nuclear in distribution. Members of the Hsp70 family function as molecular chaperones involved in such cellular functions as protein folding, transport, maturation and degradation, operating in an ATP-dependent manner. The molecular chaperones of the Hsp70 family recognize and bind to nascent polypeptide chains or partially folded intermediates of proteins, preventing their aggregation and misfolding, and the binding of ATP triggers a critical conformational change leading to the release of the bound substrate protein. Data demonstrates that with a ubiquitin-like domain at its amino terminus and its association with the 26S proteosome in HeLa cells, Bag-1 modulates the chaperone activity of Hsc70 and Hsp70. These findings reveal Bag-1's role as a physical link between the Hsc70/Hsp70 chaperone system and the proteasome. Experimental data also shows that the ATPase domain and the substrate binding domain of Hsd70 cooperate to form a co-chaperone-chaperone complex with the synaptic vesicle cysteine string protein (csp), essential for normal neurotransmitter release.

Description: Homeobox-containing genes are thought to have a role in controlling development. In Drosophila, the 'engrailed' (en) gene plays an important role during development in segmentation, where it is required for the formation of posterior compartments. Different mutations in the mouse homologs, En1 and En2, produced different developmental defects that frequently are lethal. The human engrailed homologs 1 and 2 encode homeodomain-containing proteins and have been implicated in the control of pattern formation during development of the central nervous system.Homeobox-containing genes are thought to have a role in controlling development.

Description: LCN1 could play a role in taste reception. LCN1 could be necessary for the concentration and delivery of sapid molecules in the gustatory system. LCN1 can bind various ligands, with chemical structures ranging from lipids and retinoids to the macrocyclic antibiotic rifampicin and even to microbial siderophores. LCN1 exhibits an extremely wide ligand pocket.The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the lipocalin family. Lipocalins are a group of extracellular proteins that are able to bind lipophiles by enclosure within their structures to minimize solvent contact. This protein may bind hydrophobic ligands and inhibit cysteine proteinases. It may also play a role in taste reception.

Description: The Testican family, also designated the BM-40/SPARC/osteonectin family, is composed of highly conserved, extracellular, calcium-binding, sulfate proteoglycans. Expression of Testicans is detected in a variety of tissues, but is most abundant in brain. Family members include Testican-1, Testican-2, Testican-3 and an amino-terminal splice variant of Testican-3, designated N-Tes. Most Testicans inhibit MT-MMPs, thereby inhibiting the activity of pro-MMP-2. Testican-2 is expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), with widespread expression in the olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex, thalamus, hippocampus, cerebellum and medulla, and is also found in lung and testis. Testican-2 is unique in that it actually abolishes the inhibition of MT-MMPs by other testican family members and specifically inactivates N-Tes by binding to its COOH-terminal extracellular calcium-binding domain. Testican-2 halts neurite growth from cerebellar neurons and may be involved in regu-lating the development of the CNS.

Description: Peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY) amide is a 36 amino-acid. PYY is a member of the pancreatic polypeptide (PP) family of peptides (neuropeptide Y (NPY), PYY and PP). While NPY is localized in neurons (both in the central and peripheral nervous system) and PP in the pancreatic islets, PYY is found in both neurons and the gut. PYY is released in response to food intake from the same endocrine cells (L cells) in the intestinal mucosa as the glucagon-like peptides, and inhibits gall bladder secretion, gut motility and pancreatic secretion. These effects are similar to those of PP and overlap with the gut inhibitory activity of GLP-1.

Description: IL-16 Antibody: IL-16 was initially identified as a chemotactic cytokine, but is now known to possess a wide range of activities. Later studies have more fully characterized IL-16 as an immunomodulatory cytokine that contributes to the regulatory process of CD4+ T cell recruitment and activation at sites of inflammation in association with asthma and several autoimmune diseases. The precursor of IL-16 (pro-IL-16) is thought to be cleaved towards the C-terminal region by Caspase-3, releasing a 20 kDa active form that binds to and signals through CD4. Besides acting as a chemotactic cytokine, IL-16 is thought to also be involved in the regulation of T cell proliferation and multiple infectious, immune-mediated, and autoimmune inflammatory disorders including irritable bowel syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and neurodegenerative disorders. At least two isoforms of IL-16 are known to exist; the longer isoform (also known as NIL-16) is detected only in neurons of the cerebellum and hippocampus.
