Background
This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shaker-related subfamily. The encoded protein is one of the beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins associating with functional Kv-alpha subunits. The encoded protein forms a heterodimer with the potassium voltage-gated channel, shaker-related subfamily, member 5 gene product and regulates the activity of the alpha subunit. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012],domain:Alteration of functional properties of alpha subunit is mediated through N-terminal domain of beta subunit.,function:Accessory potassium channel protein which modulates the activity of the pore-forming alpha subunit. Alters the functional properties of Kv1.5.,similarity:Belongs to the shaker potassium channel beta subunit family.,subunit:Forms heteromultimeric complex with alpha subunits.,tissue specificity:Brain specific. Most prominent expression in cerebellum. Weaker signals detected in cortex, occipital lobe, frontal lobe and temporal lobe. Not detected in spinal cord, heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, placenta and skeletal muscle.,
