The KCNMB4 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC019891) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the KCNMB4 protein, a key player in ion channel regulation and neuronal excitability. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific for human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the KCNMB4 protein, researchers can detect and analyze its expression in a variety of cell types, making it an essential tool for studies focused on neuroscience and ion channel function.KCNMB4, also known as the large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel subfamily M regulatory beta subunit 4, plays a crucial role in modulating neuronal excitability by regulating potassium ion flow.
Its involvement in ion channel activity makes it a promising target for research into neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Understanding the function of KCNMB4 is essential for developing treatments that target ion channel dysfunction in these conditions, making this antibody a valuable asset for researchers in the field.

Background:
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 α subunit and the modulatory β subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is an auxiliary β 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 β 1 subunit.
Synonyms:
potassium large conductance calcium-activated channel, subfamily M, β member 4
UniProt Protein Function:
JARID1B: Histone demethylase that demethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-9' or H3 'Lys-27'. Demethylates trimethylated, dimethylated and monomethylated H3 'Lys-4'. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for FOXG1B and PAX9. Favors the proliferation of breast cancer cells by repressing tumor suppressor genes such as BRCA1 and HOXA5. In contrast, may act as a tumor suppressor for melanoma. Interacts with FOXG1B, PAX9, MYC, MYCN and RB1. Interacts with HDAC1, HDAC4, HDAC5 and HDAC7. Ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels in testis. Down-regulated in melanoma and glioblastoma. Up-regulated in breast cancer. Belongs to the JARID1 histone demethylase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Cancer Testis Antigen (CTA); Demethylase; EC 1.14.11.-; Oxidoreductase; Transcription, coactivator/corepressorChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q32.1Cellular Component: cytoplasm; nucleoplasm; nucleusMolecular Function: histone demethylase activity; histone demethylase activity (H3-K4 specific); protein binding; transcription corepressor activity; transcription factor activity
