Protein Details: Small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel protein 1
Protein ID
ICDB_Pro_1477
Protein Name
Small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel protein 1
Gene Name
Kcnn1; Sk1
Organism
Mus musculus (Mouse)
Length
537 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-Q9EQR3-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
