title: Characterization of a high-affinity Ins-P4 (inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate) receptor from brain by an anti-peptide antiserum.
abstract: From a high-affinity Ins-P4 (inositol 1,3,4,5-P4) receptor purified from pig cerebellum, digested with the protease Lys C peptide sequences were obtained. Synthetic peptide-3 (19 amino acid residues) was used to generate an antiserum. Reaction of the affinity-purified antibodies with the purified pig receptor protein in ELISA or Western blot was completely inhibited by peptide-3. In cerebellar membranes, the antibodies clearly recognized the 42 kDa Ins-P4 receptor protein and two additional proteins (25 kDa, 37 kDa) which still have to be identified. The anti-peptide antibodies could selectively immunoprecipitate the Ins-P4 receptor protein. The antiserum was used (i) to demonstrate that in brain from different species (human, pig, beef, rat, mouse and sheep) a similar 42 kDa Ins-P4 receptor protein is contained, and (ii) to obtain indications for the existence of a related soluble form of the 42 kDa Ins-P4 receptor besides the membrane-associated receptor.
