KChIP2 Antibody (APC-142-200UL) in IHC (F)
Expression of KChIP2 in mouse hippocampus - Immunohistochemical staining of perfusion-fixed frozen mouse brain sections using Anti-KChIP2 Antibody (#APC-142), (1:400), followed by goat- Anti-rabbit-Alexa-488 (green). KChIP2 staining in the hippocampal CA1 region appears in neuronal profiles (arrows) in the pyramidal layer (Pyr). DAPI is used to stain nuclei (blue).

Product Specific Information
Reconstitution: 25 µL, 50 µL or 0.2 mL double distilled water (DDW), depending on the sample size. The antibody ships as a lyophilized powder at room temperature. Upon arrival, it should be stored at -20C. The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4C for up to 1 week. For longer periods, small aliquots should be stored at -20C. Avoid multiple freezing and thawing. Centrifuge all antibody preparations before use (10000 x g 5 min).
Target Information
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are key components of the potassium currents in the heart and central nervous system. In the heart, Kv4 channels are involved in the repolarization phase of the action potential. In the brain however, these channels prevent reverse-propagation of action potentials. Found associated with Kv4 channels are a group of calcium-binding proteins termed KChIPs (Kv channel interacting proteins). KChIPs are small molecular weight proteins that bind to the cytoplasmic amino termini of Kv4 alpha-subunits and help to modulate its function. There are currently three known KChIPs; KChIP1 expressed in the brain; KChIP2 expressed in the brain, heart, and lung, and has three isoforms, a, b, and c; and KChIP3, also known as calsenilin and DREAM (downstream regulatory elements (DRE)-antagonist modulator) which is expressed in the brain and testis.
