KCNA6 antibody detects Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 6, encoded by the KCNA6 gene. Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 6 is a transmembrane protein that forms part of the delayed rectifier type potassium channels responsible for repolarization of excitable membranes. KCNA6 antibody provides researchers with a specialized reagent for studying neuronal excitability, cardiac electrophysiology, and potassium channel regulation.
Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 6 belongs to the Shaker-related family of potassium channels. Research using KCNA6 antibody has shown that it contributes to outward potassium currents that shape the duration of action potentials in neurons and muscle. The channel contains six transmembrane segments and a voltage-sensing domain, allowing it to respond dynamically to changes in membrane potential.
Studies with KCNA6 antibody have revealed that the channel is expressed in brain, heart, and skeletal muscle, where it helps regulate excitability and electrical signaling. Its role in shaping action potentials makes it essential for synaptic transmission, muscle contraction, and rhythmic heart activity.
Dysregulation of Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 6 has been linked to neurological and cardiovascular disorders. Research using KCNA6 antibody has shown that altered expression may contribute to epilepsy, arrhythmia, and neuropathic pain. Because potassium channels influence neuronal firing thresholds and cardiac rhythm, even small changes in KCNA6 activity can have significant physiological effects.
Beyond disease associations, KCNA6 plays roles in developmental biology. Research using KCNA6 antibody has suggested contributions to neuronal differentiation, synaptic maturation, and circuit refinement. These functions underscore its importance in both physiology and pathology.
KCNA6 antibody is widely applied in patch-clamp electrophysiology studies, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Electrophysiology demonstrates functional channel currents, western blotting quantifies expression in tissues, and immunohistochemistry highlights localization in neurons and cardiac tissue. These applications make KCNA6 antibody indispensable in neurophysiology and cardiovascular research.
By providing validated KCNA6 antibody reagents, NSJ Bioreagents supports studies into excitability, channel physiology, and disease. Detection of Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 6 provides researchers with insight into how voltage-gated potassium channels regulate action potential duration and signaling.
Optimal dilution of the KCNA6 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human KCNA6 was used as the immunogen for the KCNA6 antibody.
After reconstitution, the KCNA6 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
