Anti-Potassium Chloride Cotransporter (KCC2) (Thr1007) Antibody

KCC2 is widely thought to be expressed exclusively in neurons where it is responsible for maintaining low intracellular chloride concentration to drive hyperpolarizing post-synaptic responses to the inhibitory neurotransmitters GABA and glycine (Lee et al., 2007). KCC2 is expressed in most adult neurons, and expression levels correlate well with the maturation state of neurons. N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) has been show to increase phosphorylation of the Ser-940 residue, while decreasing phosphorylation of Thr-1007 residue. Dephosphorylation of residues Thr-906 and Thr-1007 correlates with increased KCC2 activity (Moss et al., 2017).
