background:
Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated potassium channel. Elicits a slowly activating, rectifying current (By similarity). Channel properties may be modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly.
Subunit:
The potassium channel is probably composed of a homo- or heterotetrameric complex of pore-forming alpha subunits that can associate with modulating beta subunits. Heteromultimers with KCNH2/ERG1 and KCNH7/ERG3 (By similarity).
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in prolactin-secreting adenomas.
Similarity:
Belongs to the potassium channel family. H (Eag) (TC 1.A.1.20) subfamily.
Kv11.2/KCNH6 sub-subfamily.
Contains 1 cyclic nucleotide-binding domain.
Contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated SLCterminal) domain.
Contains 1 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domain.
