The KCNA7 Antibody (PAC063467) is a polyclonal antibody designed for research involving KCNA7, a potassium channel protein that plays a critical role in cell excitability and neurotransmitter release. This antibody, raised in rabbits, is highly specific and reactive with human samples, making it ideal for studies in neuroscience and ion channel research.KCNA7 is essential for maintaining membrane potential and regulating neuronal activity. Dysregulation of KCNA7 has been implicated in neurological disorders such as epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.
The KCNA7 Antibody binds to the KCNA7 protein, facilitating its detection and analysis in various cell types, providing valuable insights into its function and potential therapeutic applications.Research on KCNA7 is crucial for understanding the mechanisms underlying neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. The KCNA7 Antibody is validated for use in Western blot applications, offering researchers a reliable tool for investigating the role of KCNA7 in neurological disorders and developing targeted therapies for these conditions.

IHC image of PACO63467 diluted at 1:300 and staining in paraffin-embedded human kidney tissue performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.
Background:
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 (By similarity).

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]
