A synthetic peptide from the cytoplasmic domain of human KCNJ8 conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in rat and mouse.
IHC, WB. A concentration of 10-50 μg,ml is recommended. The optimal concentration should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

(Potassium Inwardly-Rectifying Channel, Subfamily J, Member 8 (KCNJ8))
FUNCTION: This potassium channel is controlled by G proteins. Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium, as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive voltages. The inward rectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium. Can be blocked by external barium.
