Analysis Note

ControlIncluded free of charge with the antibody is 40 µg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). 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.

Application

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Lyophilized from PBS, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA and 0.025% sodium azide. Reconstitute with 50 µL of sterile distilled water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 x g for 5 min).

Specificity

Recognizes 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.

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 6 months after date of receipt. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
