Novel monoclonal antibody inhibitors targeting potassium channel KCNK9

Unmet Need:KCNK9 is one of 15 mammalian subtypes in the highly conserved family of two-pore domain potassium channels (K2P). Under physiological conditions, KCNK9 is primarily expressed in the brain where it serves to maintain cellular membrane potentials. However, overexpression of KCNK9 has been detected in breast, lung, skin, and other cancers, and...
