KCNIP1(potassium voltage-gated channel interacting protein 1) encodes a member of the family of cytosolic voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel-interacting proteins (KCNIPs), which belong to the neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) family of the calcium binding EF-hand proteins. They associate with Kv4 alpha subunits to form native Kv4 channel complexes. The encoded protein may regulate rapidly inactivating (A-type) currents, and hence neuronal membrane excitability, in response to changes in the concentration of intracellular calcium. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.蛋白别名为:KCNIP1; KCHIP1; VABP; Kv channel-interacting protein 1; KChIP1; A-type potassium channel modulatory protein 1; Potassium channel-interacting protein 1; Vesicle APC-binding protein;基因ID为:30820;蛋白质ID:Q9NZI2
