Overview
Anti-KChIP1 (KCNIP1) Antibody is an antibody targeting KV channel-interacting protein 1, VABP, Vesicle APC-binding protein, A-type potassium channel modulatory protein 1, Potassium channel-interacting protein 1 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: KV channel-interacting protein 1, VABP, Vesicle APC-binding protein, A-type potassium channel modulatory protein 1, Potassium channel-interacting protein 1 (also reported as KV channel-interacting protein 1, VABP, Vesicle APC-binding protein, A-type potassium channel modulatory protein 1, Potassium channel-interacting protein 1).
- Immunogen/epitope region: N-terminal domain.
- Homology note: Mouse, human - identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Cited use: IP (literature use does not guarantee performance in every setup).
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis.
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
Voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels form functional entities by the assembly of four α subunits and auxiliary subunits. Various auxiliary subunits are known to interact with KV channels thereby modulating various properties such as gating, activation and inactivation of the channels as well as influencing trafficking of the channels to the cell's plasma membrane1.KChIPs (KV channel interacting proteins) are cytoplasmic proteins which belong to the neural Ca2+ sensor (NCS) family of Ca2+ binding EF-hand proteins. To date, KChIP1-4 have been identified.
Research relevance and current trends
- Linking transporter/channel abundance to ionic homeostasis and excitability-related phenotypes.
- Studying compartment-specific localization (surface vs intracellular pools) and trafficking dynamics.
- Combining antibody readouts with functional assays for more complete interpretation.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare target abundance/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms/PTMs.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: BLP-PC141.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
