Rabbit anti-Human KCNQ4 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-KCNQ4 antibody
KCNQ4 Antibody - C-terminal region
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene forms a potassium channel that is thought to play a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability, particularly in sensory cells of the cochlea. The current generated by this channel is inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. The encoded protein can form a homomultimeric potassium channel or possibly a heteromultimeric channel in association with the protein encoded by the KCNQ3 gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness type 2 (DFNA2), an autosomal dominant form of progressive hearing loss. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
KCNQ4: Probably important in the regulation of neuronal excitability. May underlie a potassium current involved in regulating the excitability of sensory cells of the cochlea. KCNQ4 channels are blocked by linopirdin, XE991 and bepridil, whereas clofilium is without significant effect. Muscarinic agonist oxotremorine-M strongly suppress KCNQ4 current in CHO cells in which cloned KCNQ4 channels were coexpressed with M1 muscarinnic receptors. Defects in KCNQ4 are the cause of deafness autosomal dominant type 2A (DFNA2A). DFNA2A is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. Belongs to the potassium channel family. KQT (TC 1.A.1.15) subfamily. Kv7.4/KCNQ4 sub-subfamily. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The KCNQ4 kcnq4 (Catalog #AAA3221603) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The KCNQ4 Antibody - C-terminal region reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's KCNQ4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the KCNQ4 kcnq4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: KSLQTRVDQI VGRGPGDRKA REKGDKGPSD AEVVDEISMM GRVVKVEKQV. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "KCNQ4, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
