Specificity

Recognizes a full length Kir3.2 (GIRK2, G-protein Activated Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channel 2). Does not cross react with any other potassium channel antigens tested so far.

Immunogen

GST fusion protein from the C-terminal portion of mouse GIRK2 protein (amino acids 374-414) (Accession P48542).

Application

Anti-Potassium Channel GIRK2 Antibody detects level of Potassium Channel GIRK2 & has been published & validated for use in IH & WB.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Ion Channels & Transporters
Western blot: 1:200 using ECL on rat brain membranes.

Immunohistochemistry on rat brain 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, 5% sucrose as a stabilizer and 0.025% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 200 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 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 120 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of PBS. For positive control, in Western blot use 20 ng of protein per minigel lane. For negative control, preincubate 3 μg of fusion protein 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.

Neuronal loss in Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with aberrant mitochondrial function and impaired proteostasis. Identifying the mechanisms that link these pathologies is critical to furthering our understanding of PD pathogenesis. Using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) that allow comparison

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are potentially an unlimited cell source for cell replacement therapy and personalized medicine. Before hESC- and iPSC-based therapy can be moved from bench to bedside, however, it is essential

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) may provide an invaluable resource for regenerative medicine. To move hESCs towards the clinic it is important that cells with therapeutic potential be reproducibly generated under completely defined conditions. Here we report a four-step scalable

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) differentiate into specialized cells, including midbrain dopaminergic neurons (DANs), and Non-human primates (NHPs) injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine develop some alterations observed in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Here, we obtained well-characterized DANs from hESCs and transplanted them

Mutations in the GBA1 gene are the single most frequent genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). Neurodegenerative changes in GBA1-associated PD have been linked to the defective lysosomal clearance of autophagic substrates and aggregate-prone proteins. To elucidate novel mechanisms
