Anti-KCNK5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 499 amino acid residues and a mass of 55.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. It is reported to be highly expressed in the kidney, also detected in the liver, placenta and small intestine. A member of the Two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) protein family, KCNK5 is known to be involved with potassium ion transport and the transport of ions. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include KCNK5b, TASK-2, TASK2, potassium channel subfamily K member 5, K2P5.1 potassium channel, and K2p5.1. KCNK5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of KCNK5 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
