The K+ channel family has been sub-grouped in to 2 TM, 4 TM and 6 TM K+ channels based on the number of transmembrane domains. The voltage-gated Potassium or Kv channels belong to the 6 TM K+ channel family that also include other sub-types such as the hERG, KCNQ, and EAG channels. Kv11.1 belongs to the EAG family and facilitates the repolarization of normal action potential in heart muscles. Genetic alterations in Kv11.1 can cause heart disorders such as long QT syndrome, sudden cardiac death and arhythmias. Kv11.1 also regulates cell growth and hence may be studied as a target for cancer treatment. Anti-Potassium channel Kv11.1 extracellular antibodies are specific to Kv11.1.
Immunogen
peptide AFLLKETEEGPPATEC corresponding to residues 430-445 of human KV11.1. This sequence has 11/16 residues identical in mouse and rat and has 15/16 residues identical in rabbit and dog.
Application
Anti-Potassium channel Kv11.1 extracellular antibodies may be used in immunofluorescence microscopy . It may also be used for the detection of Kv11.1 by techniques such as immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry using live intact K562 (human chronic myelogenous leukemia) cells and western blotting.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder from phosphate buffered saline containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide.

Molecular testing of the deceased (Molecular Autopsy) is an overlooked area in the United States healthcare system and is not covered by medical insurance, leading to ineffective care for surviving families of thousands of sudden unexpected natural deaths each year.

Long QT syndrome is one of the most common hereditary channelopathies inducing fatal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. We identified in a sudden arrhythmic death syndrome case a C-term KCNH2 mutation (c.3457C > T; p.His1153Tyr) classified as variant of unknown
