Gene information for KCNMB1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3779
Official gene symbolKCNMB1
Full namepotassium large conductance calcium-activated channel, subfamily M, beta member 1
Aliases,K(VCA)beta,SLO-BETA,hslo-beta,
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 product of this gene, the modulatory beta subunit. Intracellular calcium regulates the physical association between the alpha and beta subunits. [provided by RefSeq]
