Background

KCNQ2, also called kv7.2, is a potassium channel protein coded for by the gene KCNQ2. It is mapped to 20q13.33. The KCNQ2 gene encodes a voltage-gated potassium channel that is expressed in the brain. Expression of human KCNQ2 in Xenopus laevis oocytes led to potassium-selective currents that activated slowly with depolarization. Defects in this gene are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 1 (BFNC), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 1 (EBN1) . At least five transcript variants encoding five different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene Name

KCNQ2

Gene ID

3785

UniProt

O43526

Host

Rabbit

Reactivity

Human, Mouse, Rat

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

Immunogen

E.coli-derived human KCNQ2 recombinant protein (Position: M371-D408) .

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Isoform 1 seems to be most abundant in each tissue and isoform 2 much less abundant. Isoform 1 is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and lung, and to a lesser extent in heart, brain and kidney. Isoform 2 was found in brain, lung kidney and genital organs.

Applications

ELISA, Flow Cytometry, IHC, WB

Field of Research

Cytokines, Developmental Biology, Embryogenesis, Embryonic Stem Cells, Immunology, Innate Immunity, Stem Cells, Surface Molecules

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

May have an involvement in muscle development or hypertrophy. Isoform 2 binds to RBP-J and plays a negative regulatory role in the RBP-J-mediated transcription in mammalian systems.
