Antigen: Potassium Channel, Subfamily K, Member 5 (KCNK5)

Synonyms: TASK2, K2p5.1, TASK-2, FLJ11035, MGC63921, zgc:63921, task2, k2p5.1, task-2, KCNK5

Binding Site: C-Term

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Please enquire

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350413

Additional Information

Alternative name: KCNK5 (TASK2)

UniProt: O95279

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the c-terminal region of human KCNK5 (TASK2) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: Function: pH-dependent, voltage insensitive, outwardly rectifying potassium channel. Outward rectification is lost at high external K+ concentrations. Inhibited by quinine, quinidine and external acidification. Tissue specificity: Abundant expression in kidney, also detected in liver, placenta and small intestine. In the kidney, expression is restricted to the distal tubules and collecting ducts. Not expressed in proximal tubules or glomeruli. Subcellular location: Membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein. Also known as: Potassium channel subfamily K member 5, Acid-sensitive potassium channel protein TASK-2, TWIK-related acid-sensitive K(+) channel 2, KCNK5, TASK2.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for KCNK5.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: whole serum

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
