Rabbit Anti-KCNG4/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. KCNG4 is a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily G. This member functions as a modulatory subunit. The protein has strong expression in brain.Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily G. This member functions as a modulatory subunit. The gene has strong expression in brain. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been found in normal and cancerous tissues.
Function:
Potassium channel subunit. Modulates channel activity by shifting the threshold and the half-maximal activation to more negative values.
Subunit:
Heteromultimer with KCNB1, KCNC1 and KCNF1. Does not form homomultimers.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane. Has to be associated with KCNB1 or possibly another partner to get inserted in the plasma membrane. Remains intracellular in the absence of KCNB1.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in brain, and at lower levels in liver, small intestine and colon.
Similarity:
Belongs to the potassium channel family. G (TC 1.A.1.2) subfamily. Kv6.4/KCNG4 sub-subfamily.
