Synonyms | CAPC |
Function | Auxiliary protein of the large-conductance, voltage and calcium-activated potassium channel (BK alpha). Required for the conversion of BK alpha channels from a high-voltage to a low-voltage activated channel type in non-excitable cells. These are characterized by negative membrane voltages and constant low levels of calcium. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Localizes to the cytoplasm when expressed at high levels. |
Tissue Location | Isoform 1 is expressed highly in normal prostate and salivary gland, very weakly in colon, pancreas, and intestine, and not at all in other tissues. Isoform 1 is expressed highly in many cancer cell lines and in breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and colon cancer. Isoform 2 is expressed in cancer cell lines |

Background
The LRRC26 protein was initially identified as a cytokeratin-associated protein whose expression was elevated in multiple cancer cell lines and cancer specimens as well in normal prostate and salivary gland tissues (1). LRRC26 was later found to negatively regulate the NF-kappaB activation and suppresses tumor growth and metastasis (2). LRRC26 can also act to selectively alter the efficacy of large conductance calcium-activated K (BK) channels (3).
