General description
KCNF1 (potassium channel, voltage gated modifier subfamily F, member 1) belongs to the family of voltage-gated Kv channels, which contains around 40 gene members. These channels are made of four subunits, and form heterotetramers with different members within this family. KCNF1 is also called Kv5.1, and acts as a modifier subunit, i.e. it is not functional on its own. It is expressed in brain, heart, liver, kidney, pancreas and skeletal muscles. This gene is localized to human chromosome 2p25, and codes for a protein which is composed of 495 amino acids.

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
KCNF1 (potassium channel, voltage gated modifier subfamily F, member 1) is not functional in itself, but acts as a modifier channel for Kv2 family of channels. It regulates the functionality of Kv2.1 and Kv2.1 channels. It acts as the α-subunit of Kv2.1 channel, and increases the rate of inactivation, thereby increasing neuronal excitability and the duration of action potential.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
