General description

Human genome codes for 40 voltage-gated K+ channels (KV). Voltage-gated-like ion channels (VGICs) are the third largest group of signaling molecules found in humans. K+ channels can be divided into four structural types based on their number of transmembrane regions and mode of activation, namely Kir- the inwardly rectifying 2-transmembrane K+ channels, K2P- 2-pore 4-transmembrane K+ channels, KCa- Ca2+-activated 6-transmembrane or 7-transmembrane K+ channels, and KV- voltage-gated 6-transmembrane K+ channels. KCNH1 (potassium voltage-gated channel H1) is a KV channel and is also known as KV10.1. Like all KV members, it is composed of four α-subunits with each containing six transmembrane α-helical segments, and a membrane-re-entering P-loop. These surround a central pore as homotetramers or heterotetramers. KCNH1 mRNA and protein are both abundantly found in the brain, though its peripheral tissue expression is restricted. This gene is localized to human chromosome 1q32.1.

Specificity

Specific for KV10.1 and does not cross react with KV10.2.

Immunogen

peptide GDPAKRKGWARFKDAC corresponding to residues 802-817 of rat KV10.1. This sequence is identical in mouse and has 14/16 residues identical in human.

Biochem/physiol Actions

KCNH1 (potassium voltage-gated channel H1) initiates a slowly activating, non-inactivating K+ current in a heterologous system. In skeletal muscles, it is expressed only during the phase when myoblasts exit the cell cycle and fuse, and thus, it plays an essential role in skeletal muscle development. This protein is found to be expressed in ∼70% human cancers, including gastric, mammary tumors, colon carcinoma, and sarcomas. This channel is implicated in neuronal disorders such as Zimmermann-Laband and Temple-Baraitser syndromes.

Target description

Potassium Channel Kv10.1 (EAG-1) encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily H. This member is a pore-forming α-subunit of a voltage-gated non-inactivating delayed rectifier potassium channel.

Physical form

Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide.

Two isoforms of rat ether-a-go-go (Eag) K channels, rEag1 and rEag2, are widely expressed in many regions of the brain. The neurophysiological roles of these channels, however, are unclear. We addressed this issue by studying their subcellular localizations in hippocampal
