| Name | KCNAB3 (HGNC:6230) |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | KCNA3B |
| Function | Regulatory subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels composed of pore-forming and potassium-conducting alpha subunits and of regulatory beta subunit (PubMed:9857044). The beta- 3/KCNAB3 subunit may mediate closure of potassium channels (By similarity). Increases inactivation of Kv1.5/KCNA5 alpha subunit- containing channels (PubMed:9857044). May display nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent aldoketoreductase activity (By similarity). The binding of oxidized and reduced NADP(H) cofactors may be required for the regulation of potassium channel activity (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q14722}. |
| Tissue Location | 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 |

Background
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. Four sequence-related potassium channel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identified in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s). This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shaker-related subfamily. This member is one of the beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins associating with functional Kv-alpha subunits. This member and the KCNA5 gene product assemble into a heteromultimeric A-type channel that inactivates completely and is significantly faster than other A-type Kv channels.

The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
