Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects solute carrier family 12 member 5 (gene SLC12A5) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 126.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 126 kDa.
KCC2 (SLC12A5) is a neuron-specific K+–Cl− cotransporter that extrudes chloride from mature neurons. The resulting low intracellular chloride allows GABA-A and glycine receptors to produce inhibitory, hyperpolarizing currents, so KCC2 is a key subject in studies of synaptic inhibition, epilepsy and neuronal development.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human U2OS cells, human HepG2 cells, human HEK293 cells, human K562 cells, human PC-3 cells, mouse SP20 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human tonsil tissue, rat brain tissue, human ovarian cancer tissue, human placenta tissue, mouse brain tissue, human sarcoma tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (pH 6).
Immunogen
Recombinant human KCC2/SLC12A5 fragment (Ala228–Asn833), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places solute carrier family 12 member 5 in the cell membrane and cell projection. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Brain specific. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
