	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic

basic FUNCTION	modulate voltage-gated potassium currents in heterologous expression systems
	modulating the activity of the pore-forming alpha subunit
	encodes an aldo-keto reductase that, among other things, negatively regulates members of the voltage-gated potassium channel (Kv) family
	RORB1, PPFIA1 and KCNAB2 are differentially spliced in the foveal, parafoveal and macular regions

CELLULAR PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	channel constituent (coassembly in the endoplasmic reticulum with the channel forming alpha subunits)
	forming a ternary complex with SQSTM1 and PRKCZ

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	associating by its N terminus with beta subunits
	SLC39A1, SLC39A2 and PRKCZ

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	Kvbeta2-null mice have reduced life spans, occasional seizures, and cold swim-induced tremors (
	mice deleted for KCNAB2 leads to deficits in associative learning and memory, a reduction in the slow afterhyperpolarization following a burst of action potentials and a concomitant increase in neuronal excitability in projection neurons in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (
