Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel, KQT-Like Subfamily, Member 4 (KCNQ4) antibody

Antigen: Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel, KQT-Like Subfamily, Member 4 (KCNQ4)

Synonyms: DFNA2, KV7.4, DFNA2A, KCNQ4, kv7.4, k(v)7.4, MGC146308

Clonality: Monoclonal (S43-6)

Host: Mouse

Reactivity: Human, Mouse (Murine), Rat (Rattus)

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunocytochemistry (ICC)

Catalog no.: ABIN361768

Additional Information

Alternative name: KCNQ4

Gene ID: 9132

UniProt: P56696

Immunogen: Fusion protein amino acids 2-77 of human KCNQ4, accession number P56696

Isotype: IgG1

Clone: S43-6

Description: Specifically, the protein encoded by this gene forms a potassium channel that is thought to play a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability, particularly in sensory cells of the cochlea. The current generated by this channel is inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anticonvulsant drug.

Synonyms: DFNA2, KQT like 4, Kv7.4, voltage gated potassium channel subunit Kv7.4

Characteristics: Accession Number: NP_004691.2

Specificity: Detects ~77kDa.

Sensitivity: 1 µg/mL of SMC-309 was sufficient for detection of KCNQ4 in 10µg of COS-1 cell lysate transiently expressing KCNQ4 by colorimetric immunoblot analysis using Goat anti-mouse IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody.
