KCNIP1 Polyclonal Antibody

Human K(v) channel interacting protein 1 (KCHIP1) is a new member of the neural calcium binding protein superfamily. Members of the KCNIP family are small calcium binding proteins. They all have EF-hand-like domains,and differ from each other in the N-terminus. They are integral subunit components of native Kv4 channel complexes. They may regulate A-type currents,and hence neuronal excitability,in response to changes in intracellular calcium. KChIP1 is a neuronal calcium sensor protein that is predominantly expressed at GABAergic synapses and it has been related with modulation of K(+) channels,GABAergic transmission and cell death.
