Anti-KCNE1抗体(ab65795)

Ancillary protein that assembles as a beta subunit with a voltage-gated potassium channel complex of pore-forming alpha subunits. Modulates the gating kinetics and enhances stability of the channel complex. Assembled with KCNQ1/KVLQT1 is proposed to form the slowly activating delayed rectifier cardiac potassium (IKs) channel. The outward current reaches its steady state only after 50 seconds. Assembled with KCNH2/HERG may modulate the rapidly activating component of the delayed rectifying potassium current in heart (IKr).

Expressed in heart, lung, kidney, testis, ovaries, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes. Not detected in pancreas, spleen, prostate and colon. Restrictively localized in the apical membrane portion of epithelial cells.

Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome 2 (JLNS2) [MIM:612347]: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital deafness, prolongation of the QT interval, syncopal attacks due to ventricular arrhythmias, and a high risk of sudden death. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Long QT syndrome 5 (LQT5) [MIM:613695]: A heart disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval on the ECG and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. They cause syncope and sudden death in response to exercise or emotional stress, and can present with a sentinel event of sudden cardiac death in infancy. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Belongs to the potassium channel KCNE family.

Phosphorylation inhibits the potassium current.
N-glycosylation at Asn-26 occurs post-translationally, and requires prior cotranslational glycosylation at Asn-5.
