Gene information for KCNMB2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10242
Official gene symbolKCNMB2
Full namepotassium large conductance calcium-activated channel, subfamily M, beta member 2
Aliases,MGC22431,
Gene summaryMaxiK 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 modulatory beta subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is an auxiliary beta subunit which decreases the activation time of MaxiK alpha subunit currents. Two variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
