Kcnn4 - potassium intermediate/small conductance calcium-activated channel, subfamily N, member 4 Gene

Enables calcium-activated Potassium Channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell volume homeostasis; phospholipid translocation; and saliva secretion. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; and membrane raft. Predicted to be active in neuron projection; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver; metanephros; nervous system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis 2. Orthologous to human KCNN4 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily N member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
