Scientific background

TASK1-5 are members of the two-pore domain K⁺ channels. They have four transmembrane domains and assist in setting the resting membrane potential.

TASK5 (K_2P15.1, KCNK15) was identified using the TASK-3 sequence in a GenBank search. However, when expressed in COS-7 cells, it does not form a functional K⁺ current¹.

The channel is distributed in the brain, heart, lung, kidney, liver, pancreas, adrenal gland and placenta².

Application key:

CBE- Cell-based ELISA, FC- Flow cytometry, ICC- Immunocytochemistry, IE- Indirect ELISA, IF- Immunofluorescence, IFC- Indirect flow cytometry, IHC- Immunohistochemistry, IP- Immunoprecipitation, LCI- Live cell imaging, N- Neutralization, WB- Western blot

Species reactivity key:

H- Human, M- Mouse, R- Rat

Lyophilized Powder

Alomone Labs is pleased to offer a highly specific antibody directed against an epitope of the rat KCNK15 channel. Anti-KCNK15 (TASK-5) (extracellular) Antibody (#APC-158) can be used in western blot analysis. The antibody recognizes an extracellular epitope and is thus ideal for detecting the channel in living cells. It has been designed to recognize KCNK15 from rat and mouse samples. The antibody will unlikely recognize the channel from human samples.

Scientific Background

Specific Control Product

KCNK15/TASK-5 (extracellular) Blocking Peptide (#BLP-PC158) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-KCNK15 (TASK-5) (extracellular) Antibody (#APC-158) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-KCNK15/TASK-5 (extracellular) primary antibody, this makes it a good negative reagent control to help confirm antibody specificity in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. This control is also often called a pre-adsorption control.
