Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of k(v)1.2, an alias of the protein, potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 2. The official gene symbol is KCNA2. The protein, with a mass of 56.7 kDa and length of 499 residues, is reported to be membrane-associated. It is a member of the Potassium channel family, A (Shaker) (TC 1.A.1.2) subfamily, Kv1.2/KCNA2 sub-subfamily and may be known by other names, including: EIEE32, voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv1.2, voltage-gated potassium channel HBK5, voltage-gated K(+) channel HuKIV, potassium voltage-gated channel shaker-related subfamily member 2, and potassium channel voltage gated shaker related subfamily A member 2, and HUKIV.
