Rabbit anti-Human KCND1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9NSA2

Target Species

Human

Target Name

KCND1

Target Full Name

A-type voltage-gated potassium channel KCND1

Target Function

Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. May contribute to I(To) current in heart and I(Sa) current in neurons. Channel properties are modulated by interactions with other alpha subunits and with regulatory subunits.

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell projection, dendrite.

Target Protein Families

Potassium channel family, D (Shal) (TC 1.A.1.2) subfamily, Kv4.1/KCND1 sub-subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Highly expressed in brain, in particular in cerebellum and thalamus; detected at lower levels in the other parts of the brain.

Target Research Area

Neuroscience

Target Background

This gene encodes a multipass membrane protein that comprises the pore subunit of the voltage-gated A-type potassium channel, which functions in the repolarization of membrane action potentials. Activity of voltage-gated potassium channels is important in a number of physiological processes, among them the regulation of neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, and smooth muscle contraction.
