KCNJ16 Antibody

Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses. KCNJ16 is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassium channel. KCNJ16, which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, can form heterodimers with two other inward-rectifier type potassium channels. It may be involved in the regulation of fluid and pH balance.Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassium channel. The encoded protein, which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, can form heterodimers with two other inward-rectifier type potassium channels. It may be involved in the regulation of fluid and pH balance. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store KCNJ16 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

KCNJ16 antibody can be used for detection of KCNJ16 by ELISA at 1:12500. KCNJ16 antibody can be used for detection of KCNJ16 by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
