Species: Homo sapiens
About KCNMB1
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 129 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in endometrium (RPKM 43.3), prostate (RPKM 41.0) and 15 other tissues.
Summary
MaxiK channels are large conductance, voltage and calcium-sensitive potassium channels which are fundamental to the control of smooth muscle tone and neuronal excitability. MaxiK channels can be formed by 2 subunits: the pore-forming alpha subunit and the product of this gene, the modulatory beta subunit. Intracellular calcium regulates the physical association between the alpha and beta subunits. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
