Gene information for KCNIP4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID80333
Official gene symbolKCNIP4
Full nameKv channel interacting protein 4
Aliases,CALP,KCHIP4,MGC44947,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the family of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel-interacting proteins (KCNIPs), which belong to the recoverin branch of the EF-hand superfamily. Members of the KCNIP family are small calcium binding proteins. They all have EF-hand-like domains, and differ from each other in the N-terminus. They are integral subunit components of native Kv4 channel complexes. They may regulate A-type currents, and hence neuronal excitability, in response to changes in intracellular calcium. This protein member also interacts with presenilin. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
