ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Caution, targets protein from more than one gene. External characterization data supports antibody staining but no internal RNA data available for correlation.
Neuropil was moderately stained in several cases of glioma. Cancer cells were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
KCNJ12 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
hIRK1, IRK2, KCNJN1, Kir2.2, Kir2.2v
Description
Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J, member 12 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an inwardly rectifying K+ channel which may be blocked by divalent cations. This protein is thought to be one of multiple inwardly rectifying channels which contribute to the cardiac inward rectifier current (IK1). The gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
