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:Hyperpolarization-activated ion channel exhibiting weak selectivity for potassium over sodium ions. Contributes to the native pacemaker currents in heart (If) and in neurons (Ih). Activated by cAMP, and at 10-100 times higher concentrations, also by cGMP. May mediate responses to sour stimuli.,sequence caution:Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence.,similarity:Belongs to the potassium channel HCN family.,similarity:Contains 1 cyclic nucleotide-binding domain.,subunit:The potassium channel is probably composed of a homo- or heterotetrameric complex of pore-forming subunits. Heteromultimer with HCN2 (By similarity). Interacts with KCNE2.,tissue specificity:Detected in brain, in particular in amygdala and hippocampus, while expression in caudate nucleus, corpus callosum, substantia nigra, subthalamic nucleus and thalamus is very low or not detectable. Detected at very low levels in muscle and pancreas.,
