Backgroud: potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily N member 4(KCNN4) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is part of a potentially heterotetrameric voltage-independent potassium channel that is activated by intracellular calcium. Activation is followed by membrane hyperpolarization, which promotes calcium influx. The encoded protein may be part of the predominant calcium-activated potassium channel in T-lymphocytes. This gene is similar to other KCNN family potassium channel genes, but it differs enough to possibly be considered as part of a new subfamily. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:Forms a voltage-independent potassium channel that is activated by intracellular calcium. Activation is followed by membrane hyperpolarization which promotes calcium influx. The channel is blocked by clotrimazole and charybdotoxin but is insensitive to apamin.,induction:Up-regulated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in T-cells.,similarity:Belongs to the potassium channel KCNN family.,subunit:Heterotetramer of potassium channel proteins (Probable). Interacts with MTMR6.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed in non-excitable tissues.,
