Scientific background

K_V1.3 belongs to the Shaker family of voltage-dependent K⁺ channels. The channel, encoded by KCNA3, is widely expressed in the brain, lung and osteoclasts and in several cell populations of hematopoietic origin. The prominence of K_V1.3 channels in these cells (particularly in T lymphocytes) directed much research attention. It was found that K_V1.3 is the main channel responsible for maintaining the resting potential in quiescent cells and regulating the Ca²⁺ signaling that is indispensable for normal T lymphocyte activation.^1,2 Based on the central role of K_V1.3 in regulating the initiation of an immune response, the channel has been recognized as a potential target for immunosuppressant drugs.¹

Lyophilized Powder

Guinea pig Anti-K_V1.3 (KCNA3) (extracellular) Antibody (#APC-101-GP, formerly AGP-005) is a highly specific antibody directed against an epitope of the human protein. The antibody can be used in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. It has been designed to recognize K_V1.3 potassium channel from mouse, rat, and human samples. The antigen used to immunize guinea pigs is the same as Anti-K_V1.3 (KCNA3) (extracellular) Antibody (#APC-101) raised in rabbit. Our line of guinea pig antibodies enables more flexibility with our products such as multiplex staining studies, immunoprecipitation, etc.

Scientific Background

Specific Control Product

Kv1.3/KCNA3 (extracellular) Blocking Peptide (#BLP-PC101) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-K_V1.3 (KCNA3) (extracellular) Antibody (#APC-101) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-Kv1.3/KCNA3 (extracellular) primary antibody, this makes it a good negative reagent control to help confirm antibody specificity in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. This control is also often called a pre-adsorption control.
