FormatAffinity Purified
Control
  • CONTROL ANTIGEN: Included free of charge with the antibody is 60 μg of fusion protein (35 kDa). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of PBS. For negative control, preincubate 3 μg of fusion protein with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. For positive control, use 20 ng of fusion protein per lane. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.
PresentationAffinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA, and 0.025% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 50 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min).
Quality SegmentMQ100
Applications
ApplicationThis Anti-Potassium Channel HERG Antibody, C-terminus is validated for use in IC, IP, WB for the detection of Potassium Channel HERG.
Key Applications
  • Immunocytochemistry

Antibody TypePolyclonal Antibody
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a voltage-activated potassium channel belonging to the eag family. It shares sequence similarity with the Drosophila ether-a-go-go (eag) gene. Mutations in this gene can cause long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2). Transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q12809 # Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channel. Channel properties are modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly. Mediates the rapidly activating component of the delayed rectifying potassium current in heart (IKr). Isoform 3 has no channel activity by itself, but modulates channel characteristics when associated with isoform 1.
SIZE: 1159 amino acids; 126655 Da
SUBUNIT: The potassium channel is probably composed of a homo- or heterotetrameric complex of pore-forming alpha subunits that can associate with modulating beta subunits. Heteromultimer with KCNH6/ERG2 and KCNH7/ERG3. Interacts with ALG10B (By similarity). Heteromultimer with KCNE1 and KCNE2.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in heart and brain.
DOMAIN:SwissProt: Q12809 The segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position.
PTM: Phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues. Phosphorylation by PKA inhibits ion conduction.
DISEASE: SwissProt: Q12809 # Defects in KCNH2 are the cause of long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2) [MIM:152427]. Long QT syndromes are heart disorders characterized by a prolonged QT interval on the ECG and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. They cause syncope and sudden death in response to exercise or emotional stress. Deafness is often associated with LQT2. & Defects in KCNH2 are the cause of short QT syndrome type 1 (SQT1) [MIM:609620]. Short QT syndromes are heart disorders characterized by idiopathic persistently and uniformly short QT interval on ECG in the absence of structural heart disease in affected individuals. They cause syncope and sudden death.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the potassium channel family. H (Eag) subfamily. & Contains 1 cyclic nucleotide-binding domain. & Contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain. & Contains 1 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domain.
