The KCNA7 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO19875) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 7 (KCNA7) protein. This antibody, generated in rabbits, is highly specific to human samples and is suitable for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the KCNA7 protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of KCNA7 in various cell types, providing researchers with insights into its role in ion channel function and neuronal activity.KCNA7 is a member of the voltage-gated potassium channel family, which plays a crucial role in regulating the electrical properties of cells.
Dysregulation of KCNA7 has been linked to neurological disorders, including epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease, making it an important target for research in neurobiology and neurodegenerative diseases. By studying the function and regulation of KCNA7 using this antibody, researchers can contribute to the development of novel therapeutic approaches for these conditions.

Background:
Potassium channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. Four sequence-related potassium channel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identified in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s). This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shaker-related subfamily.
Synonyms:
potassium voltage-gated channel, shaker-related subfamily, member 7
UniProt Protein Function:
Kv1.7: Mediates the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a potassium-selective channel through which potassium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Belongs to the potassium channel family. A (Shaker) (TC 1.A.1.2) subfamily. Kv1.7/KCNA7 sub-subfamily.Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-passChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19q13.3Cellular Component: voltage-gated potassium channel complex; integral to membrane; plasma membraneMolecular Function: delayed rectifier potassium channel activityBiological Process: synaptic transmission; protein homooligomerization

NCBI Summary:
Potassium channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. Four sequence-related potassium channel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identified in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s). This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shaker-related subfamily. This member contains six membrane-spanning domains with a shaker-type repeat in the fourth segment. The gene is expressed preferentially in skeletal muscle, heart and kidney. It is a candidate gene for inherited cardiac disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
