Protein Details: Small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel protein 2
Protein ID
ICDB_Pro_0641
Protein Name
Small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel protein 2
Gene Name
Kcnn2; Sk2
Organism
Mus musculus (Mouse)
Length
839 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-P58390-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Forms a voltage-independent potassium channel activated by intracellular calcium . Activation is followed by membrane hyperpolarization. Thought to regulate neuronal excitability by contributing to the slow component of synaptic afterhyperpolarization
