Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from the cytoplasmic domain of human KCNJ5 (GIRK4, Kir3.4, KATP-1) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide shares 91% identity with rat and mouse sequences.
Accession
Also known
G protein-activated inward rectifier potassium channel 4, GIRK4, Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 5, Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir3.4, Heart KATP channel, KATP-1, Cardiac inward rectifier, CIR
Target
FUNCTION: This potassium channel is controlled by G proteins. Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium; as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive voltages. The inward rectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium. Can be blocked by external barium.
Tissue specificity: Islets, exocrine pancreas and heart.
Subcellular location: Membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein.
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.
