FormatAffinity Purified
Control
  • CONTROL ANTIGEN: Included free of charge with the antibody is 20 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of sterile deionized water. For negative control, preincubate 1 μg of purified peptide with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.
PresentationAffinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA, 5% sucrose as a stabilizer and 0.025% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 50 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min).
Quality LevelMQ100
Applications
ApplicationAnti-Potassium Channel TASK-2 Antibody is an antibody against Potassium Channel TASK-2 for use in IH & WB.
Key Applications
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Western Blotting
Application NotesWestern blot: 1.5 μg/mL (1:200) on rat kidney membranes using ECL.

Immunohistochemistry on rat kidney tissue sections.

Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%).

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes one of the members of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. The message for this gene is mainly expressed in the cortical distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney. The protein is highly sensitive to external pH and this, in combination with its expression pattern, suggests it may play an important role in renal potassium transport.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: O95279 # pH-dependent, voltage insensitive, outwardly rectifying potassium channel. Outward rectification is lost at high external K(+) concentrations.
SIZE: 499 amino acids; 55130 Da
SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Potential).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Abundant expression in kidney, also detected in liver, placenta and small intestine. In the kidney, expression is restricted to the distal tubules and collecting ducts. Not expressed in proximal tubules or glomeruli.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: O95279 ## Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.
MISCELLANEOUS: Inhibited by quinine, quinidine and external acidification.
