Gene Information

human ... KCNJ2(3759)

Specificity

Recognizes Kir2.1 protein (IRK1, Kcnj2). The epitope is specific for Kir2.1 and is not present in any other known protein.

SPECIES REACTIVITIES: The immunogen sequence is identical in rabbit, bovine, porcine and guinea pig. It is highly conserved in rat and mouse (17/19 residues), chick (15/19 residues), and pigeon (14/18). Other species have not been tested.

Immunogen

Purified peptide from human Kir2.1 (amino acids 392-410) (Accession number P48049).

Application

Detect Potassium Channel Kir2.1 using this Anti-Potassium Channel Kir2.1 Antibody validated for use in IH & WB.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Ion Channels & Transporters
Western blot: 1:200 using ECL on rat brain and rat heart membranes. Note: Addition of 0.1% Tween to the standard milk block is recommended for this lot.

Immunohistochemistry on rat heart sections.

Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%)

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA and 0.05% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 50 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min).

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 12 months after date of receipt. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Analysis Note

Control
CONTROL ANTIGEN: Included free of charge with the antibody is 20 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of sterile deionized water. For negative control, preincubate 1 μg of peptide with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Muscle activity is associated with potassium displacements, which may cause fatigue. It was reported previously that the density of the large-conductance Ca2+-dependent K+ (BK(Ca)) channel is higher in the T tubule membrane than in the sarcolemmal membrane and that the

The Ca(2+)-independent transient outward potassium current (I(to)) encoded by the Kv4 family of potassium channels, is central to normal repolarization of cardiac myocytes. KChIPs are a group of Ca(2+)-binding accessory subunits that modulate Kv4-encoded currents. However, the biophysical effects of

Heart failure (HF) is characterized by marked prolongation of action potential duration and reduction in cellular repolarization reserve. These changes are caused in large part by HF-induced K(+) current downregulation. Molecular mechanisms underlying these changes remain unclear. We determined whether

The afferent and efferent arterioles regulate the inflow and outflow resistance of the glomerulus, acting in concert to control the glomerular capillary pressure and glomerular filtration rate. The myocytes of these two vessels are remarkably different, especially regarding electromechanical coupling.

The effects of intensified training in combination with a reduced training volume on muscle ion kinetics, transporters, and work capacity were examined. Eight well-trained cyclists replaced their regular training with speed-endurance training (12 × 30 s sprints) 2-3 times per
