| Scientific Background: | The mammalian melastatin-related transient receptor potential (TRPM) is a subfamily of the TRP family. The family was named after the first member, melastatin (TRPM1), whose gene was identified in metastatic and benign melanomas. The TRPM proteins share structural homology with other members of the TRP superfamily channels; six putative transmembrane domains, and cytoplasmic N-terminus and C-terminus. However, due to their long N-terminus and C-terminus they were also named the long TRP channel family. TRPM8 is the cold and menthol receptor activated by either cold temperatures(~28°C) or menthol. |

| Technical Info/Product Notes: | PREADSORPTION CONTROL: 1µg peptide per 1µg antibody. Prepare 2 tubes. In the first, dilute the necessary amount of antibody in 200-500µl of PBS, 1% BSA and 0.025% sodium azide. Prepare the second tube identically to the first with the addition of the appropriate amount of peptide. Incubate at room temperature for 1 hr. Centrifuge both tubes at 10,000Xg for 5 min. Use the supernatants from tubes 1 and 2 for parallel experiments. |
