domain:Alteration of functional properties of alpha subunit is mediated through N-terminal domain of beta subunit.,function:Accessory potassium channel protein which modulates the activity of the pore-forming alpha subunit. All three isoforms alter the functional properties of Kv1.4 and Kv1.5. Isoform KvB1.2 has no effect on Kv1.1, Kv1.2 or Kv2.1.,similarity:Belongs to the shaker potassium channel beta subunit family.,subunit:Forms heteromultimeric complex with alpha subunits. Interacts with SQSTM1.,tissue specificity:In brain, expression is most prominent in caudate nucleus, hippocampus and thalamus. Significant expression also detected in amygdala and subthalamic nucleus. Also expressed in both healthy and cardiomyopathic heart. Up to four times more abundant in left ventricle than left atrium.,
