General description
KCNE3 (potassium channel, voltage gated subfamily E regulatory β subunit 3) encodes the β subunit of potassium channel, which associates with multiple α subunits, to form a channel complex. This gene is localized to human chromosome 11q13-14, and is expressed in brain, inner ear and heart. It belongs to the KCNE family, which contains five members, from KCNE1-5.
Immunogen
Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 3 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.
Biochem/physiol Actions
KCNE3 (potassium channel, voltage gated subfamily E regulatory β subunit 3) interacts with KCNE1, to control the transport, surface expression and activation of KCNH3, a potassium channel, in cortex and other regions of the central nervous system (CNS). Its chromosomal location is the locus for autosomal recessive, non-syndromal hearing disorder. It acts as an inhibitory β- subunit, and regulates the activity of Kv4.3 channel. Mutation in this gene is associated with Brugada-pattern electrocardiogram (ECG) and neurally mediated syncope (NMS). Thus, it might have some role in the pathogenesis of Brugada syndrome (BrS). Variants in this gene are also linked to long QT syndrome (LQTS), which is an inherited disorder. This protein also interacts with Kv7.1, which results in acceleration in the activation and decay of the current.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
Linkage
Corresponding Antigen APREST72451.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
