Target data
Function
Hyperpolarization-activated ion channel that is permeable to sodium and potassium ions. Displays lower selectivity for K(+) over Na(+) ions (PubMed:10228147, PubMed:22006928). Contributes to the native pacemaker currents in heart (If) and in neurons (Ih) (PubMed:10228147, PubMed:10524219). Can also transport ammonium in the distal nephron (By similarity). Involved in the initiation of neuropathic pain in sensory neurons (By similarity).
Alternative names

This antibody clone is manufactured by Abcam. If you require a custom buffer formulation or conjugation for your experiments, please contact orders@abcam.com
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.
This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.
Supplementary info

- Activity summary
HCN2 also known as hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 2 is a protein that forms part of the HCN channel family. These channels are responsible for generating the I_h current in cardiac and neuronal tissues. The HCN2 protein has a molecular mass of approximately 97 kDa. It is prominently expressed in the heart and brain particularly in the sinoatrial node of the heart and various neurons in the brain's central nervous system.
- Biological function summary
The HCN2 channel influences the rhythmic activity of cardiac pacemaker cells and certain types of neurons. It belongs to a larger complex of ion channels that contribute to the cardiac pacemaking process and synchronization of neuronal firing. The HCN channels facilitate the flow of potassium and sodium ions which is critical for modulating electrical excitability and rhythmic oscillations in these cells.
- Pathways
HCN2 plays a significant role in both cardiac and neurological pathways. In the cardiac context it is part of the heart rate regulation pathway cooperating with other proteins such as HCN4 for managing the heart's rhythmic cycle. Neurologically HCN2 influences the pathway responsible for synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability interfacing with proteins like TRIP8b which modulate the activity of HCN channels in the neurons.
- Associated diseases and disorders
HCN2 shows connections to conditions such as cardiac arrhythmias and pain disorders. Disruptions in HCN2 function may lead to irregular heartbeats or contribute to chronic pain disorders due to its role in modulating electrical excitability. In pain-related pathways it interacts with other ion channels like Nav1.7 which are critical in the pathway of pain signaling and transmission across neurons.

Positive staining on rat cerebrum tissue is observed. The section was incubated with Anti-HCN2 antibody [4A6] ab252836 for 30mins at RT. The immunostaining staining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Counterstained with hematoxylin.
Secondary antibody only control: Used PBS instead of primary antibody, followed by ready to use secondary.
Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution 2) for 20 mins.
