Abstract

We have purified a putative Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 receptor (p104) from platelets, and obtained partial sequence data as a prelude to cloning and sequencing. We are in the process of raising and characterising antibodies to this protein. However, in the process of purification and during experiments with an InsP4 affinity probe, we have detected and partially characterised other InsP4-binding proteins some of which are possibly PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 receptors. We require another position on our current Link Grant to clone and sequence p104, so enabling us also to explore the biological function and molecular biology of these other InsP4- binding proteins.
