Rabbit Anti-Kv beta 2/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. Four sequence-related potassium channel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identified in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s). This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shaker-related subfamily. This member is one of the beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins associating with functional Kv-alpha subunits. This member alters functional properties of the KCNA4 gene product. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
Function:
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. Four sequence related potassium channel genes: shaker, shaw, shab, and shal, have been identified in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s). This protein belongs to the potassium channel, voltage gated, shaker related subfamily and is one of the beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins associating with functional Kv alpha subunits. This member alters functional properties of the KCNA4 gene product. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
Subunit:
Forms heteromultimeric complex with alpha subunits. Forms a ternary complex with SQSTM1 and PRKCZ (By similarity).
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasmic
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated by PRKCZ; may be regulated by incorporation in a complex composed of PRKCZ and SQSTM1 (By similarity).
Similarity:
Belongs to the shaker potassium channel beta subunit family.
