Biochem/physiol Actions

Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily B member 1 (KCNB1) plays a vital role in hippocampal neuron excitation homeostasis. The encoded protein is mainly implicated in the generation of the major delayed rectifier potassium current in pyramidal neurons. Mutation in the gene is associated with the development of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and early-onset infantile epilepsy in humans.

General description

The potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily B member 1 (KCNB1) gene is mapped to human chromosome 20q13.13. This gene codes for a α subunit of voltage-gated potassium Kv2.1 channel. The encoded protein contains 858 amino acids and six transmembrane segments (S1–S6). KCNB1 is mainly expressed in the central nervous system, but at high level in somatodendritic compartment of neocortical and pyramidal neurons.
