| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Protein existence | Evidence at transcript level |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated potassium channel. Elicits a slowly activating, outward rectifying current. Channel properties may be modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly. |
| Subunit structure | The potassium channel is probably composed of a homo- or heterotetrameric complex of pore-forming alpha subunits that can associate with modulating beta subunits. |
| Subcellular location | |
| Tissue specificity | Detected in superior cervical, mesenteric and coeliac ganglia. Expressed in brain (piriform cortex, olfactory tubercle, cerebral cortex, hippocampus pyramidial cells and dentate gyrus and basal ganglia of caudate/putamen and accumbens nucleus). Expressed in pituitary. Ref.3 Ref.4 |
| Domain | The segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the potassium channel family. H (Eag) (TC 1.A.1.20) subfamily. Kv12.1/KCNH8 sub-subfamily. [View classification] Contains 1 cyclic nucleotide-binding domain. Contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain. Contains 1 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domain. |
