DGK-ι Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul Electrophoresis & Labeling Calcium-activated potassium channel subunit beta-2

Calcium-activated potassium channel subunit beta-2 encoded by KCNMB2 is an auxiliary beta subunit which decreases the activation time of MaxiK alpha subunit currents

Temporally regulated transcription and translation of several testis-specific genes is required to initiate the series of molecular and morphological changes in the male germ cell lineage necessary for the formation of mature spermatozoa

which suggests a role for this protein in clock function or as a circadian clock effector

This gene encodes the alpha-2/delta subunit of the voltage-dependent calcium channel complex

DGK-ι Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul Electrophoresis & Labeling Calcium-activated potassium channel subunit beta-2DGKI is a member of the type IV diacylglycerol kinase subfamily. Diacylglycerol kinases regulate the intracellular concentration of diacylglycerol through its phosphorylation, producing phosphatidic acid. The specific role of the enzyme encoded by DGKI is undetermined, however, it may play a crucial role in the production of phosphatidic acid in the retina or in recessive forms of retinal degeneration.
