Target/Specificity | This KCNK6 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 263-292 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human KCNK6. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 E~~Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | KCNK6 Antibody(C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | KCNK6 (HGNC:6281) |
---|---|
Function | K(+) channel that conducts outward rectifying currents at the membranes of the endolysosomal system (PubMed:10887187, PubMed:28381826). Active in lysosomes where it regulates lysosome numbers and size (PubMed:28381826). In macrophages, enables K(+) efflux coupled to ATP-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation upon bacterial infection. Cooperates with ATP-gated P2RX7 channels to activate NLRP3 inflammasome, with P2RX7 conducting Ca(2+) and Na(+) influx that sets the membrane potential for K(+) efflux (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Late endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Lysosome membrane; Multi- pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Widespread expression, detected in all tissues tested except for skeletal muscle. Strongest expression in placenta, pancreas, heart, colon and spleen, lower levels detected in peripheral blood leukocytes, lung, liver, kidney and thymus. Lowest expression detected in brain. |

Background
This gene encodes one of the members of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. This channel protein, considered an open rectifier, is widely expressed. It is stimulated by arachidonic acid, and inhibited by internal acidification and volatile anaesthetics. [provided by RefSeq].
