Other Names | Calcium homeostasis modulator protein 3, Protein FAM26A, CALHM3, FAM26A |
Target/Specificity | This CALHM3 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 68-97 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human CALHM3. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | CALHM3 Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CALHM3 (HGNC:23458) |

Synonyms | FAM26A |
Function | Pore-forming subunit of gustatory voltage-gated ion channels required for sensory perception of sweet, bitter and umami tastes. With CALHM1 forms a fast-activating voltage-gated ATP-release channel in type II taste bud cells, ATP acting as a neurotransmitter to activate afferent neural gustatory pathways. Acts both as a voltage-gated and calcium-activated ion channel: mediates neuronal excitability in response to membrane depolarization and low extracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Has poor ion selectivity and forms a wide pore (around 14 Angstroms) that mediates permeation of small ions including Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+) and Cl(-), as well as larger ions such as ATP(4-). |
Cellular Location | Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:J3QMI4}; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Specifically expressed in circumvallate taste bud cells. |

Background
The specific function of CALHM3 remains unknown. There are two different isoforms generated by alternative splicing.
