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 and are expressed mainly in hematopoietic cells such as T and B lymphocytes, macrophages and natural killer cells. (Kv)1.3 facilitates cell proliferation and can also regulate the immune system. Genetic alterations in (Kv) 1.3 lead to epilepsy, episodic ataxia/myokymia, and episodic cardiac arrhythmia (the long QT syndrome). Anti-potassium channel (Kv) 1.3 (extracellular)−FITC antibody can be used for western blotting of rat brain membranes. Rabbit anti- potassium channel (Kv) 1.3 (extracellular) antibodies reacts specifically with rat and human (Kv) 1.3._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 211-224 of human KV1.3. Rat and mouse are 12/14 residues identical._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-potassium channel (Kv) 1.3 (extracellular)−FITC antibody can be used in immunoblotting and flow cytometry._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, 1% bovine serum albumin, 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.
