potassium voltage-gated channel, shaker-related subfamily, beta member 3
Symbol
KCNAB3
(may also be known as: None)
Organism
Human
Description
This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shaker-related subfamily. The encoded protein is one of the beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins associating with functional Kv-alpha subunits. The encoded protein forms a heterodimer with the potassium voltage-gated channel, shaker-related subfamily, member 5 gene product and regulates the activity of the alpha subunit.
