A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of KCNN3 antibody, catalog no. 70R-5182 Background: Action potentials in vertebrate neurons are followed by an afterhyperpolarizati
on (AHP) that may persist for several seconds and may have profound consequences for the firing pattern of the neuron. Each component of the AHP is kinetically distinct and is mediated by different calcium-activated potassium channels. KCNN3, a member of the KCNN family of potassium channel genes, encodes a protein that is activated before membrane hyperpolarization and is thought to regulate neuronal excitability by contributing to the slow component of synaptic AHP. The encoded protein is an integral membrane protein that forms a voltage-independent calcium-activated channel with three other calmodulin-binding subunits.
