| Clonality: |
Polyclonal |
| Conjugation: |
Unconjugated |
| Isotype: |
IgG |
| Formulation: |
Lyophilised |
| Purification: |
IgG purified |
| Dilution Range: |
IHC, WB (confirmed by recombinant protein). A dilution of 1:300 to 1:2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications. |
| Storage Instruction: |

| Gene Symbol: |
KCNK4 |
| Gene ID: |
50801 |
| Uniprot ID: |
KCNK4_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: |
C-Term |
| Specificity: |
Specific for KCNK4. |
| Immunogen: |
A synthetic peptide from the c-terminal region of mouse KCNK4 (TRAAK) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in human and rat. |
| Function | K(+) channel that conducts voltage-dependent outward rectifying currents upon membrane depolarization. Voltage sensing is coupled to K(+) electrochemical gradient in an 'ion flux gating' mode where outward but not inward ion flow opens the gate. Converts to voltage-independent 'leak' conductance mode upon stimulation by various stimuli including mechanical membrane stretch, basic pH, heat and lipids. Homo- and heterodimerizes to form functional channels with distinct regulatory and gating properties. At trigeminal A-beta afferent nerves, the heterodimer of KCNK2/TREK-1 and KCNK4/TRAAK is mostly coexpressed at nodes of Ranvier where it conducts voltage-independent mechanosensitive and thermosensitive currents, allowing rapid action potential repolarization, high speed and high frequence saltatory conduction on myelinated nerves to ensure prompt sensory responses. Permeable to other monovalent cations such as Rb(+) and Cs(+). |
