Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including NADPH binding activity; potassium channel regulator activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Acts upstream of or within learning or memory and regulation of potassium ion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; dendrite; and perikaryon. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Predicted to be active in juxtaparanode region of axon. Is expressed in brain; heart; reproductive system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in temporal lobe epilepsy. Orthologous to human KCNAB1 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A regulatory beta subunit 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene experience some learning defects but are otherwise normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
