ACCN2 Antibody - N-terminal region : Biotin (ARP35298_P050-Biotin)

ACCN2 is the cation channel with high affinity for sodium, which is gated by extracellular protons and inhibited by the diuretic amiloride. ACCN2 is also permeable for Ca2+, Li+ and K+. ACCN2 generates a biphasic current with a fast inactivating and a slow sustained phase. ACCN2 mediates glutamate-independent Ca2+ entry into neurons upon acidosis. This Ca2+ overloading is toxic for cortical neurons and may be in part responsible for ischemic brain injury. Heteromeric channel assembly seems to modulate channel properties. ACCN2 functions as a postsynaptic proton receptor that influences intracellular Ca2+ concentration and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II phosphorylation and thereby the density of dendritic spines. It modulates activity in the circuits underlying innate fear.This gene encodes a member of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) superfamily. The members of this family are amiloride-sensitive sodium channels that contain intracellular N and C termini, 2 hydrophobic transmembrane regions, and a large extracellular loop, which has many cysteine residues with conserved spacing. The member encoded by this gene is expressed in most if not all brain neurons, and it may be an ion channel subunit; however, its function as an ion channel remains unknown. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript products.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
