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. The beta-2/KCNAB2 cytoplasmic subunit promotes potassium channel closure via a mechanism that does not involve physical obstruction of the channel pore. Promotes the inactivation of Kv1.4/KCNA4 and Kv1.5/KCNA5 alpha subunit-containing channels.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Membrane (Peripheral membrane protein); Cell membrane (Peripheral membrane protein); Cell projection, axon; Synapse, synaptosome; Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton
Tissue Specificity: Detected in myelinated nerve fibers in the spinal cord, in the juxtaparanodal region of the nodes of Ranvier, but also in the paranodal region. Detected in hippocampus (at protein level). Detected in hippocampus
