KCNIP3(potassium voltage-gated channel interacting protein 3) encodes a member of the family of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel-interacting proteins, which belong to the recoverin branch of the EF-hand superfamily. Members of this family are small calcium binding proteins containing EF-hand-like domains. They are integral subunit components of native Kv4 channel complexes that may regulate A-type currents, and hence neuronal excitability, in response to changes in intracellular calcium. The encoded protein also functions as a calcium-regulated transcriptional repressor, and interacts with presenilins. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.蛋白别名为:KCNIP3; CSEN; DREAM; KCHIP3; Calsenilin; A-type potassium channel modulatory protein 3; DRE-antagonist modulator; DREAM; Kv channel-interacting protein 3; KChIP3;基因ID为:30818;蛋白质ID:Q9Y2W7
