domain:The segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position.,function:Potassium channel subunit. Modulates channel activity and reduces the ion flow.,similarity:Belongs to the potassium channel family. S subfamily.,subcellular location:May not reach the plasma membrane but remain in an intracellular compartment in the absence of KCNB1.,subunit:Heteromultimer with KCNB1 and with KCNB2. Does not form homomultimers. Might also bind to other channel proteins.,tissue specificity:Detected in all tissues tested with the exception of skeletal muscle. Highly expressed in adult and fetal brain, fetal kidney and lung, and adult prostate and testis.,
