Protein Details: KCa5.1 (Calcium-activated potassium channel; subfamily U; member 1)

Protein ID

ICDB_Pro_0070

Protein Name

KCa5.1 (Calcium-activated potassium channel; subfamily U; member 1)

Gene Name

KCNU1; KCNMA3; KCNMC1; SLO3

Organism

Homo sapiens (Human)

Length

1149 amino acids

AlphaFoldDB

AF-A8MYU2-F1-model_v4.pdb

Function

Testis-specific potassium channel activated by both intracellular pH and membrane voltage that mediates export of K(+). May represent the primary spermatozoan K(+) current. In contrast to KCNMA1/SLO1;it is not activated by Ca(2+) or Mg(2+). Critical for fertility. May play an important role in sperm osmoregulation required for the acquisition of normal morphology and motility when faced with osmotic challenges;such as those experienced after mixing with seminal fluid and entry into the vagina
