Reported reactivity: Human, Mouse and Rat. Supplied as IgG Kappa, purified by AmMag™ Ultra AT Protein A MagBeads.

Slo1, also known as the BK (Big Potassium) channel or BKα, is a voltage- and calcium-activated potassium channel highly expressed in neurons and smooth muscle. It plays a critical role in regulating membrane excitability by facilitating the repolarization phase of action potentials and modulating neurotransmitter release. Slo1 channel activity is finely tuned by intracellular Ca²⁺ levels and membrane potential, and is further regulated by auxiliary KCNMB subunits. This dynamic regulation enables Slo1 to influence synaptic transmission, motor coordination, and responses to ethanol. Notably, Slo1 dysfunction has been implicated in a range of neurological and neuromuscular disorders, including epilepsy, ataxia, hypertension, and muscular dystrophy. Recent studies suggest that Slo1 may also contribute to neurodegenerative disease mechanisms by altering neuronal firing patterns and calcium homeostasis. Its interaction with dystrophin-related pathways further underscores its relevance in neuromuscular integrity. Given its broad physiological roles and disease associations, Slo1 is emerging as a promising target for therapeutic intervention and biomarker development in neurodegenerative research. This antibody is also available conjugated to ATTO 390, ATTO 488, ATTO 594, APC, Biotin, FITC, HRP, PerCP and RPE. Supplied in 100 µg.
