Voltage-gated K+ channels are important determinants of neuronal membrane excitability, and differences in K+ channel expression patterns and densities contribute to the variations in action potential waveforms and repetitive firing patterns evident in different neuronal cell types. The delayed rectifier-type (IK)channels (Kv1.5, Kv2.1, and Kv2.2) are expressed on all neuronal somata and proximal dendrites and are also found in a wide variety on non-neuronal cells types including pancreatic islets, alveolar cells and cardiac myocytes. Kv2.1 and Kv2.2 form distinct populations of K+ channels and these subunits are thought to be primarily responsible for IK in superior cervical ganglion cells.1) Burger, C. and Ribera, A.B.

Key Feature
Clonality
Polyclonal
Host Species
Rabbit
Tested Applications
IHCWB
Potassium Channel antibody can be used for specific immunolabeling of the ~125k Kv 2.2 protein in Western blots. Applications include Dot Blots (DB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blots (WB). Rabbit anti-Potassium Channel, Kv2.2 recognizes Kv2.2 in rat and Xenopus. When internally tested under ideal conditions the working dilutions were 1:1000 for IHC, DB and WB.
