Primary Identifier | MGI:1919663 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 72413 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium-activated potassium channel activity and potassium channel regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in detection of calcium ion; neuronal action potential; and potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is expressed in acoustic ganglion; ascending aorta; and ductus arteriosus. Orthologous to human KCNMB2 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M regulatory beta subunit 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene abolishes inactivation of BK currents in mouse adrenal chromaffin cells and results in slow-wave burst activity. [provided by MGI curators] |
