Purification: Ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by antigen affinity chromatography using the immunizing peptide.

Immunogen: Peptide from the C Terminus of the protein sequence according to NP_002231.1 Genename: KCNJ6

Application Details

Application Notes: Peptide ELISA: limit dilution 1: 16000. Western blot: 1-3 μg/mL. Approx 48 kDa band observed in Human Brain (Hippocampus andSubstantia Nigra) lysates (calculated MW of 48.8 kDa according to NP_002231.1). Anadditional band of unknown identity was also consistently observed at 38 kDa. This bandwas successfully blocked by incubation with the immunising peptide. We would appreciateany feedback from people in the field - have any such results been reported with otherantibodies/lysates? Have any further splice variants/modified forms been reported?
Other applications not tested.

Target: KCNJ6 (Potassium Inwardly-Rectifying Channel, Subfamily J, Member 6 (KCNJ6))

Alternative Name: KCNJ6

Background: G-protein regulated inward-rectifier potassium channels (GIRK) are part of a superfamily of inward-rectifier K+ channels which includes seven family members. To date four GIRK subunits, designated GIRK1-4 (also designated Kir3.1-4), have been identified in mammals, and GIRK5 has been found in Xenopus oocytes. GIRK channels exist in vivo both as homotetramers and heterotetramers. GIRK channels are modulated by G-proteins, they are also modulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, intracellular sodium, ethanol and mechanical stretch. GIRK1, 2 and 3 are highly abundant in brain. In general, neuronal GIRK channels are involved in the regulation of the excitability of neurons and may contribute to the resting potential.Synonyms: BIR1, G protein-activated inward rectifier potassium channel 2, GIRK2, Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir3.2, KATP-2, KATP2, KCNJ6, KCNJ7, Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 6
