Gene Information

human ... KCNH2(3757)

General description

ERG1 encodes the pore forming alpha subunit of the voltage-gated channels that conduct the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current, which leads to termination of the cardiac ventricular action potential. A large number of commercially available therapeutic agents (antiarrhythmics, antihistamines, antibiotics and antidepressants) have been shown to preferentially block ERG1 and cause a disorder of cardiac action potential depolarization that predisposes affected individuals to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death.

Specificity

ERG1 protein. By western blot, antibody recognizes bands at 175 and 205 kDa (glycosylated) or 135 and 165 kDa (deglycosylated).

Immunogen

Epitope: C-terminus
Synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of ERG1 (aa 1145-1159 of HERG1).

Application

Anti-Potassium Channel ERG1 Antibody, C-terminus detects level of Potassium Channel ERG1 & has been published & validated for use in IC, IH, IP & WB.
Immunoblotting: 5 μg/mL

Immunocytochemistry

Immunohistochemistry on 4% paraformaldehyde fixed tissues.

Immunoprecipitation

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

In response to light, most retinal neurons exhibit gradual changes in membrane potential. Therefore K+ channels that mediate threshold currents are well-suited for the fine-tuning of signal transduction. In the present study we demonstrate the expression of the different Kv11
