Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
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.

| Function | Regulatory subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) Shaker channels composed of pore-forming and potassium-conducting alpha subunits and of regulatory beta subunits (PubMed:17156368, PubMed:17540341, PubMed:19713757, PubMed:7499366, PubMed:7603988). The beta-1/KCNAB1 cytoplasmic subunit mediates closure of delayed rectifier potassium channels by physically obstructing the pore via its N- terminal domain and increases the speed of channel closure for other family members (PubMed:9763623). Promotes the inactivation of Kv1.1/KCNA1, Kv1.2/KCNA2, Kv1.4/KCNA4, Kv1.5/KCNA5 and Kv1.6/KCNA6 alpha subunit-containing channels (PubMed:12077175, PubMed:12130714, PubMed:15361858, PubMed:17156368, PubMed:17540341, PubMed:19713757, PubMed:7499366, PubMed:7603988, PubMed:7649300, PubMed:7890764, PubMed:9763623). Displays nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent aldoketoreductase activity by catalyzing the NADPH- dependent reduction of a variety of endogenous aldehydes and ketones (By similarity). The binding of NADPH is required for efficient down- regulation of potassium channel activity (PubMed:17540341). Oxidation of the bound NADPH restrains N-terminal domain from blocking the channel, thereby decreasing N-type inactivation of potassium channel activity (By similarity). |

Background
Potassium 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 includes three distinct isoforms which are encoded by three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene. These three isoforms are beta subunits, which form heteromultimeric complex with alpha subunits and modulate the activity of the pore-forming alpha subunits.
