Anti-Kv4.3/KCND3 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily D member 3, also known as Kv4.3, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCND3 gene. KCND3 is a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shal-related subfamily. Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. It is mapped to 1p13.2. KCND3 is important in membrane repolarization in excitable cells. It contributes to the cardiac transient outward potassium current (Ito1), the main contributing current to the repolarizing phase 1 of the cardiac action potential.

E.coli-derived human Kv4.3 recombinant protein (Position: M1-H177) . Human Kv4.3 shares 100% and 99% amino acid (aa) sequences identity with mouse and rat Kv4.3, respectively.

Highly expressed in heart and brain, in particular in cortex, cerebellum, amygdala and caudate nucleus. Detected at lower levels in liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Isoform 1 predominates in most tissues. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are detected at similar levels in brain, skeletal muscle and pancreas. .

Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. May contribute to I (To) current in heart and I (Sa) current in neurons. Channel properties are modulated by interactions with other alpha subunits and with regulatory subunits. .
