Control
  • Included free of charge with the antibody is 50 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). For negative control, preincubate 2 μg of purified peptide with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.
PresentationLyophilized from PBS, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA and 0.025% sodium azide. Reconstitute with 200 μL of sterile distilled water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 x g for 5 min).
Quality LevelMQ100
Applications
ApplicationAnti-Potassium Channel Kir6.2 Antibody is an antibody against Potassium Channel Kir6.2 for use in WB.
Key Applications
  • Western Blotting
Application NotesWestern blotting: 1:200 using ECL on rat pancreas lysate.

Immunohistochemistry on rat pancrease sections. Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%).

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
Biological Information
ImmunogenHighly purified peptide corresponding to residues 372-385 of rat Kir6.2 (Accession P70673). The immunogen sequence is identical in mouse and conserved in human (12/14).
ConcentrationPlease refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
HostRabbit
SpecificityRecognizes Kir6.2 (Inward rectifier potassium channel Kir6.2). The antibody does not react with Kir6.1. The epitope specific for Kir6.2 is not present in any other known proteins.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryPotassium 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, is controlled by G-proteins and is found associated with the sulfonylurea receptor SUR. Mutations in this gene are a cause of familial persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by unregulated insulin secretion. Defects in this gene may also contribute to autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II (NIDDM).

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q14654 # This receptor is controlled by G proteins. Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium; as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive voltages. The inward rectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium. Can be blocked by extracellular barium (By similarity).
SIZE: 390 amino acids; 43541 Da
SUBUNIT: Associates with ABCC8/SUR.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
DISEASE: SwissProt: Q14654 # Defects in KCNJ11 are the cause of familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia type 2 (HHF2) [MIM:601820]; also known as persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PPHI) or hyperinsulinism. HHF2 is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy and is due to defective negative feedback regulation of insulin secretion by low glucose levels. It causes nesidioblastosis, a diffuse abnormality of the pancreas in which there is extensive, often disorganized formation of new islets. Unless early and aggressive intervention is undertaken, brain damage from recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia may occur. & Defects in KCNJ11 are a cause of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) [MIM:606176]. PNDM is a rare form of diabetes characterized by insulin-requiring hyperglycemia that is diagnosed within the first months of life. & Defects in KCNJ11 are the cause of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus type 3 (TNDM3) [MIM:610582]. Neonatal diabetes mellitus, defined as insulin-requiring hyperglycemia within the first month of life, is a rare entity. In about half of the neonates, diabetes is transient and resolves at a median age of 3 months, whereas the rest have a permanent form of diabetes. In a significant number of patients with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus, diabetes type 2 appears later in life. The onset and severity of TNDM3 is variable with childhood-onset diabetes, gestational diabetes or adult-onset diabetes described. & Defects in KCNJ11 may contribute to non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), also known as diabetes mellitus type 2.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q14654 ## Belongs to the inward rectifier-type potassium channel family.
