Name | KCNMB1 |
---|---|
Function | Regulatory subunit of the calcium activated potassium KCNMA1 (maxiK) channel. Modulates the calcium sensitivity and gating kinetics of KCNMA1, thereby contributing to KCNMA1 channel diversity. Increases the apparent Ca(2+)/voltage sensitivity of the KCNMA1 channel. It also modifies KCNMA1 channel kinetics and alters its pharmacological properties. It slows down the activation and the deactivation kinetics of the channel. Acts as a negative regulator of smooth muscle contraction by enhancing the calcium sensitivity to KCNMA1. Its presence is also a requirement for internal binding of the KCNMA1 channel opener dehydrosoyasaponin I (DHS-1) triterpene glycoside and for external binding of the agonist hormone 17-beta-estradiol (E2). Increases the binding activity of charybdotoxin (CTX) toxin to KCNMA1 peptide blocker by increasing the CTX association rate and decreasing the dissociation rate. |
Cellular Location | Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
Tissue Location | Abundantly expressed in smooth muscle. Low levels of expression in most other tissues. Within the brain, relatively high levels found in hippocampus and corpus callosum |

Background
MaxiK channels are large conductance, voltage andcalcium-sensitive potassium channels which are fundamental to thecontrol of smooth muscle tone and neuronal excitability. MaxiKchannels can be formed by 2 subunits: the pore-forming alphasubunit and the product of this gene, the modulatory beta subunit.Intracellular calcium regulates the physical association betweenthe alpha and beta subunits.
