Other Names | Kv channel-interacting protein 2, KChIP2, A-type potassium channel modulatory protein 2, Cardiac voltage-gated potassium channel modulatory subunit, Potassium channel-interacting protein 2, KCNIP2, KCHIP2 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP1573a was selected from the N-term region of human KChIP2a . A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | KCNIP2 |

Synonyms | KCHIP2 |
Function | Regulatory subunit of Kv4/D (Shal)-type voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. Modulates channel density, inactivation kinetics and rate of recovery from inactivation in a calcium-dependent and isoform-specific manner. In vitro, modulates KCND2/Kv4.2 and KCND3/Kv4.3 currents. Involved in KCND2 and KCND3 trafficking to the cell surface. May be required for the expression of I(To) currents in the heart (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | [Isoform 1]: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JM59}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JM59}. Note=Detected on lipid rafts (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JM59} [Isoform 6]: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JM59}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JM59} |
Tissue Location | Expressed in brain. Colocalizes with KCND2 in excitatory neurons including cortical and hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells. Isoform 3 is expressed in heart and in umbilical vein endothelial cells. Not expressed in fetal heart |

Background
KChIP2a is a member of the family of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel-interacting proteins (KCNIPs), which belongs to the recoverin branch of the EF-hand 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.
