G1RK2 POT CHANNEL; RB X-200UL

Analysis Note

ControlCONTROL ANTIGEN: Included free of charge with the antibody is 120 µg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 µL of PBS. For positive control, in Western blot use 20 ng of protein per minigel lane. For negative control, preincubate 3 µg of fusion protein with 1 µg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.

Application

Anti-Potassium Channel GIRK2 Antibody detects level of Potassium Channel GIRK2 & has been published & validated for use in IH & WB.

Research Sub CategoryIon Channels & Transporters

Other Notes

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

Physical form

Affinity 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 200 µL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min).

Specificity

Recognizes a full length Kir3.2 (GIRK2, G-protein Activated Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channel 2). Does not cross react with any other potassium channel antigens tested so far.

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 12 months. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles
