Purification	Affinity-chromatography
Immunogen	A synthesized peptide derived from human Kir2.1
Description	Probably participates in establishing action potential waveform and excitability of neuronal and muscle tissues. Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it.
Storage Condition and Buffer	Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline , pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol. Store at +4°C short term. Store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze / thaw cycle.

Protein Information
Name	KCNJ2
Synonyms	IRK1
Function	Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it (PubMed:36149965, PubMed:7590287, PubMed:9490857). Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium; as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive voltages (PubMed:7590287, PubMed:7696590). The inward rectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium (PubMed:9490857). Can be blocked by extracellular barium or cesium (PubMed:7590287, PubMed:7696590). Probably participates in establishing action potential waveform and excitability of neuronal and muscle tissues (PubMed:7590287, PubMed:7696590, PubMed:7840300).
