Description

General description

Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A regulatory beta subunit 2 (KCNAB2), an ion channel gene, codes for a voltage?gated K⁺ channel β?subunit protein, Kvβ2. This gene is located on human chromosome 1p36. Kvβ2 is expressed ubiquitously in the human heart. It belongs to the aldo?keto reductase superfamily. This member is one of the beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins associating with functional Kv-α subunits.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human KCNAB2

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A regulatory β subunit 2 (KCNAB2) gene is involved in neuroendocrine conditions KCNAB2 serves as a candidate gene for epilepsy. A cardiac arrhythmia disorder, called Brugada syndrome occurs due to the gain-of-function mutation in KCNAB2 gene. Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels play a key role in modulating the contraction of smooth muscle, secretion of insulin, the release of neurotransmitters, and excitability of the neuron. It also participates in heart rate, epithelial electrolyte transport, and cell volume.
