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.

| Name | KCNA5 |
|---|---|
| Function | Voltage-gated potassium channel that mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes. Forms tetrameric potassium- selective channels through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. The channel alternates between opened and closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane. Can form functional homotetrameric channels and heterotetrameric channels that contain variable proportions of KCNA1, KCNA2, KCNA4, KCNA5, and possibly other family members as well; channel properties depend on the type of alpha subunits that are part of the channel (PubMed:12130714). Channel properties are modulated by cytoplasmic beta subunits that regulate the subcellular location of the alpha subunits and promote rapid inactivation (PubMed:12130714). Homotetrameric channels display rapid activation and slow inactivation (PubMed:8505626, PubMed:12130714). May play a role in regulating the secretion of insulin in normal pancreatic islets. Isoform 2 exhibits a voltage-dependent recovery from inactivation and an excessive cumulative inactivation (PubMed:11524461). |

Background
Potassium channels represent the most complex class ofvoltage-gated ino channels from both functional and structuralstandpoints. Their diverse functions include regulatingneurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronalexcitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth musclecontraction, and cell volume. Four sequence-related potassiumchannel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identifiedin 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 contains sixmembrane-spanning domains with a shaker-type repeat in the fourthsegment. It belongs to the delayed rectifier class, the function ofwhich could restore the resting membrane potential of beta cellsafter depolarization and thereby contribute to the regulation ofinsulin secretion. This gene is intronless, and the gene isclustered with genes KCNA1 and KCNA6 on chromosome 12. [provided byRefSeq].
