Physiological Functions Click here for help
Regulation of membrane potential and action potential frequency by modulation of delayed rectifier potassium currents.
It modulates the activity of Kv2.1 channels by causing marked changes in activation threshold and kinetics, C-type inactivation, and deactivation.
Species:  Human
Tissue:  Ltk- cells

Biologically Significant Variants Click here for help
Type:  Splice variant
Species:  Human
Description:  Kv6.4 has no function on its own, but it has important modulatory actions on Kv2 channels
Amino acids:  519
Nucleotide accession:  NM_172347
Protein accession:  NP_758857
Biologically Significant Variant Comments
A total of 731 SNPs have been identified in human KCNG4. For more information, please see the entry on GeneCards.

This variant has questionable validity because it originates from a cancer cell line [3] :
  • RNA sequence: NM_133490
  • Protein sequence: NP_597997
  • Amino acids: 256
  • Type: Splice variant
  • Species: Human
    • General Comments
    Kv6.4 has no function on its own, but has important modulatory actions on Kv2 channels. Interaction with Kv2.1 is mediated by interactions between N- and C-termini [2].
