Antibody That Reacts with Inositol Triphosphate (IP3) Receptor-binding Protein (IRBIT)

Applications

  • Western Blot
  • Immunoprecipitation

Specificity

Human

Subtype

Rabbit Polyclonal

Technical Summary

Calcium is responsible for regulating various cellular processes. The elevation of intracellular calcium regulates the activity of Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3). Emory inventors have identified a polyclonal antibody which cross reacts with inositol triphosphate (IP3) receptor-binding protein (IRBIT). IRBIT is released with IP3, binds NHE3 and activates NHE3 activity in response to calcium. The interaction of IRBIT is necessary for the stimulation of NHE3 activity.
