CSEN Antibody

CSEN is a member of the family of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel-interacting proteins (KCNIPs), which belong to the recoverin branch of the EF-hand superfamily. Members of the KCNIP family are small calcium binding proteins. They all have EF-hand-like domains, and differ from each other in the N-terminus. They are integral subunit components of native Kv4 channel complexes. They may regulate A-type currents, and hence neuronal excitability, in response to changes in intracellular calcium. The protein encoded by this gene is also shown to function as a calcium-regulated transcriptional repressor, and to interact with presenilins. Mutations in the presenilin genes have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease.

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

CSEN antibody can be used for detection of CSEN by ELISA at 1:12500. CSEN antibody can be used for detection of CSEN by western blot at 2.0 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
