Anti-Kv2.1 K+ Channel Antibody FL650 Conjugate

Kv 2.1 K+ channel (Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily B member 1), which is encoded by KCNB1 gene, is a member of the Potassium voltage-gated channel familly. This protein, mainly expressed in the central nervous system, functions as a delayed rectifier. Indeed, it regulates the action potential (AP) repolarization as well as duration and frequency of repetitive AP firing in neurons, muscle cells and endocrine cells. Kv2.1 K+ channel switches between open or closed conformation in response to the voltage difference across the membrane. This process directs the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes, which lets potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Kv2.1 K+ channel is widely used as a marker to measure membrane excitability in hippocampal neurons.

Our Anti-Kv2.1 K+ channel mouse monoclonal primary antibody from NeuroMab is produced in-house from hybridoma clone K89/34. It is KO validated, detects human, mouse, and rat Kv2.1 K+ channel, and is purified by protein a chromatography. It is great for use in IHC, ICC.

Aliquot and store at ≤ -20°C for long term storage. For short term storage, store at 2-8°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the vial prior to removing the cap.

Produced by in vitro bioreactor culture of hybridoma line followed by Protein A affinity chromatography and conjugation of purified mAb. Purified mAbs are >90% specific antibody.

Each new lot of antibody is quality control tested by western blot on rat whole brain lysate and confirmed to stain the expected molecular weight band.
