Rabbit MaxiKbeta Polyclonal Antibody | anti-KCNMB4 antibody
MaxiKbeta Antibody
Phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.
IHC: 1:200
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(MBS9608888 at 1/100 staining Human brain cancer tissue by IHC-P. The sample was formaldehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step in citrate buffer was performed. The sample was then blocked and incubated with the antibody for 1.5 hours at 22 degree C. An HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody was used as the secondary.)
Western Blot (WB)
(Western blot analysis of extracts from COS-7, using MaxiKBeta Ab. The lane on the left was treated with blocking peptide.)
Subunit Structure: Interacts with KCNMA1 tetramer (PubMed:10692449, PubMed:10804197). There are probably 4 molecules of KCMNB4 per KCNMA1 tetramer (PubMed:10692449, PubMed:10804197). Interacts with FMR1 (via N-terminus) (PubMed:25561520).
Post-translational Modifications: Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation modulates its effect on KCNMA1 activation kinetics. N-glycosylated. A highly glycosylated form is promoted by KCNMA1. Glycosylation, which is not required for the interaction with KCNMA1 and subcellular location, increases protection against charybdotoxin.
Similarity: Resistance to charybdotoxin (CTX) toxin is mediated by the extracellular domain. Belongs to the KCNMB (TC 8.A.14.1) family. KCNMB4 subfamily.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
MaxiK channels are large conductance, voltage and calcium-sensitive potassium channels which are fundamental to the control of smooth muscle tone and neuronal excitability. MaxiK channels can be formed by 2 subunits: the pore-forming alpha subunit and the modulatory beta subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is an auxiliary beta subunit which slows activation kinetics, leads to steeper calcium sensitivity, and shifts the voltage range of current activation to more negative potentials than does the beta 1 subunit.

Uniprot Description
Regulatory subunit of the calcium activated potassium KCNMA1 (maxiK) channel. Modulates the calcium sensitivity and gating kinetics of KCNMA1, thereby contributing to KCNMA1 channel diversity. Decreases the gating kinetics and calcium sensitivity of the KCNMA1 channel, but with fast deactivation kinetics. May decrease KCNMA1 channel openings at low calcium concentrations but increases channel openings at high calcium concentrations. Makes KCNMA1 channel resistant to 100 nM charybdotoxin (CTX) toxin concentrations.

Product Notes
The KCNMB4 kcnmb4 (Catalog #AAA9608888) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MaxiKbeta Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MaxiKbeta can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA (EIA). WB: 1:1000-3000 IHC: 1:200. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the KCNMB4 kcnmb4 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. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MaxiKbeta, 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
