Name | KCNE4 (HGNC:6244) |
---|---|
Function | Ancillary protein that assembles as a beta subunit with a voltage-gated potassium channel complex of pore-forming alpha subunits. Modulates the gating kinetics and enhances stability of the channel complex. Associates with KCNQ1/KVLTQ1 and inhibits potassium currents. |
Cellular Location | Membrane; Single- pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Predominantly expressed in embryo and adult uterus. Low expression found in kidney, small intestine, lung and heart |

Background
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the mostcomplex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functionaland structural standpoints. Their diverse functions includeregulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion,neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smoothmuscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member ofthe potassium channel, voltage-gated, isk-related subfamily. Thismember is a type I membrane protein, and a beta subunit thatassembles with a potassium channel alpha-subunit to modulate thegating kinetics and enhance stability of the multimeric complex.This gene is prominently expressed in the embryo and in adultuterus.
