Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ The K+ channel family has been sub-grouped in to 2 TM, 4 TM and 6 TM K+ channels based on the number of transmembrane domains. The voltage-gated Potassium or Kv channels belong to the 6 TM K+ channel family that also include other sub-types such as the hERG, KCNQ, and EAG channels. Kv11.1 belongs to the EAG family and facilitates the repolarization of normal action potential in heart muscles. Genetic alterations in Kv11.1 can cause heart disorders such as long QT syndrome, sudden cardiac death and arhythmias. Kv11.1 also regulates cell growth and hence may be studied as a target for cancer treatment. Anti-Potassium channel Kv11.1 extracellular antibodies are specific to Kv11.1._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ peptide AFLLKETEEGPPATEC corresponding to residues 430-445 of human KV11.1. This sequence has 11/16 residues identical in mouse and rat and has 15/16 residues identical in rabbit and dog._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-Potassium channel Kv11.1 extracellular antibodies may be used in immunofluorescence microscopy . It may also be used for the detection of Kv11.1 by techniques such as immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry using live intact K562 (human chronic myelogenous leukemia) cells and western blotting._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Lyophilized powder from phosphate buffered saline containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
