Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from aa region 30-80 of human KCNJ6 conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen.
Accession

G protein-activated inward rectifier potassium channel 2, GIRK2, Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 6, Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir3.2, KATP-2, BIR1, KATP2, KCNJ7
Target
FUNCTION: This potassium channel may be involved in the regulation of insulin secretion by glucose and/or neurotransmitters acting through G-protein-coupled receptors. 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.
Tissue specificity: Most abundant in cerebellum, and to a lesser degree in islets and exocrine pancreas.
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.
Expiry Date
12 months after reconstitution
