Cytoplasmic potassium channel subunit that modulates the characteristics of the channel-forming alpha-subunits (PubMed:8576199). Contributes to the regulation of nerve signaling, and prevents neuronal hyperexcitability (PubMed:11825900, PubMed:21209188). 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 (PubMed:8576199). Modulates the functional properties of KCNA4 (By similarity). Modulates the functional properties of KCNA5 (PubMed:8576199). Enhances KCNB2 channel activity (PubMed:8824288). Modulates the functional properties of KCNA5 (PubMed:8576199). 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).

Belongs to the shaker potassium channel beta subunit family.
