KCNAB2

Gene
KCNAB2
Protein
Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit beta-2
Organism
Bos taurus
Length
367 amino acids
Function
Cytoplasmic potassium channel subunit that modulates the characteristics of the channel-forming alpha-subunits (By similarity). Contributes to the regulation of nerve signaling, and prevents neuronal hyperexcitability (By similarity). Promotes expression of the pore-forming alpha subunits at the cell membrane, and thereby increases channel activity (By similarity). Promotes potassium channel closure via a mechanism that does not involve physical obstruction of the channel pore (By similarity). Promotes KCNA4 channel closure (By similarity). Modulates the functional properties of KCNA5 (By similarity). Enhances KCNB2 channel activity (By similarity). Binds NADPH and has NADPH-dependent aldoketoreductase activity (By similarity). Has broad substrate specificity and can catalyze the reduction of methylglyoxal, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, prostaglandin J2, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde, 4-nitroacetophenone and 4-oxo-trans-2-nonenal (in vitro) (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the shaker potassium channel beta subunit family.
