PLN polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Quantity: 100 µg

Background:
Phospholamban is a 52 amino acid integral membrane protein that regulates the Ca2+ pump in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle cells. The subsequent activation of the Ca(2+) pump leads to enhanced muscle relaxation rates, thereby contributing to the inotropic response elicited in heart by beta-agonists. Phospholamban is also expressed in slow-twitch skeletal muscle and some smooth muscle cells. It is observed that human ventricle and quadriceps displayed high levels of phospholamban transcripts and proteins, with markedly lower expression observed in smooth muscles, while the right atrium also expressed low levels of phospholamban. The structure of the human phospholamban gene closely resembles that reported for chicken, rabbit, rat, and mouse. Comparison of the human to other mammalian phospholamban genes indicated a marked conservation of sequence for at least 217 bp upstream of the transcription start site.
