For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Polyclonal

Rabbit

Affinity Purified

Liquid. Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

For short term use, store at 2-8 degree C up to 1 week. For long term storage, store at -20 degree C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Small volumes of anti-CLCNKB antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

This is a rabbit polyclonal antibody against CLCNKB. It was validated on Western Blot using a cell lysate as a positive control.

Target Description: Chloride channel Kb (CLCNKB) is a member of the CLC family of voltage-gated chloride channels, which comprises at least 9 mammalian chloride channels. Each is believed to have 12 transmembrane domains and intracellular N and C termini. Mutations in CLCNKB result in the autosomal recessive Type III Bartter Syndrome. CLCNKA and CLCNKB are closely related (94% sequence identity), tightly linked (separated by 11 kb of genomic sequence) and are both expressed in mammalian kidney.

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the family of voltage-gated chloride channels. Chloride channels have several functions, including the regulation of cell volume, membrane potential stabilization, signal transduction and transepithelial transport. This gene is expressed predominantly in the kidney and may be important for renal salt reabsorption. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive Bartter syndrome type 3 (BS3). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Function: Voltage-gated chloride channel. Chloride channels have several functions including the regulation of cell volume; membrane potential stabilization, signal transduction and transepithelial transport. May be important in urinary concentrating mechanisms. Ref.6

Subunit structure: Interacts with BSND. Forms heteromers with BSND in the thick ascending limb of Henle and more distal segments

By similarity.

Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity: Expressed predominantly in the kidney. Ref.6

Involvement in disease: Bartter syndrome 3 (BS3) [MIM:607364]: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired salt reabsorption in the thick ascending loop of Henle with pronounced salt wasting, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, and varying degrees of hypercalciuria.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.9Bartter syndrome 4B (BS4B) [MIM:613090]: A digenic, recessive disorder characterized by impaired salt reabsorption in the thick ascending loop of Henle with pronounced salt wasting, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, and varying degrees of hypercalciuria. Bartter syndrome type 4B is associated with sensorineural deafness.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting distinct genetic loci, including the gene represented in this entry. Loss-of-function of both CLCNKA and CLCNKB results in the disease phenotype (Ref.8). Ref.7 Ref.8

Miscellaneous: Compared with CLCNKA/BSND, CLCNKB/BSND is more sensitive to pH and less responsive to Ca2+.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the chloride channel (TC 2.A.49) family. CLCNKB subfamily. [View classification]Contains 2 CBS domains.
