Product Name :
Kv7.4 Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
Epilepsy affects about 0.5% of the world’s population and has a large genetic component. Epilepsy results from an electrical hyperexcitability in the central nervous system. Potassium channels are important regulators of electrical signaling, determining the firing properties and responsiveness of a variety of neurons. Benign familial neonatal convulsions (BFNC), an autosomal dominant epilepsy of infancy, has been shown to be caused by mutations in the KCNQ2 or the KCNQ3 potassium channel genes. KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 are voltage-gated potassium channel proteins with six putative transmembrane domains. Both proteins display a broad distribution within the brain, with expression patterns that largely overlap. Mutations of KCNQ4 affect the functions of sensory outer hair cells and lead to deafness. Alternative Name :
Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 4; KQT-like 4; Potassium channel subunit alpha KvLQT4; Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv7.4; KCNQ4 Swiss-Prot :
P56696 Product :
1 mg/ml in DI water. Purification&Purity :
Synthetic peptide Kv7.4. (Note: the amino acid sequence is proprietary). The purity is > 98%. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
This peptide can be used with studies using BS5773 Kv7.4 pAb.
