mono polymer

tetramer , complex

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane

text	localised on the cytoplasmic droplets and tail of ejaculated spermatozoa

basic FUNCTION	mediating the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes
	play a role in regulating the secretion of insulin in normal pancreatic islets
	K(+)-channel involved in sperm volume regulation under physiological conditions
	traffic and localization of KCNA3/KCNA5 heteromers implicated in the complex regulation of immune system cells
	may play an important role in oxidative vascular endothelial injury
	participates in the repolarization of a wide variety of cell types

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

tetramer forming a complex through its cytoplasmic segment T1 facing the membrane pore with four beta subunits forming the associated cytoplasmic auxiliary subunits

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	associating with the N terminus region of alpha subunit
	interaction with ACTN2
	interacting with CDH2 (modifies KCNA5 activity and is thus a novel candidate signaling molecule participating in the regulation of a variety of functions including cardiac action potential and vascular tone
	in cardiac myocytes colocalizes with CDH2 (its expression increases following establishment of cell-cell contacts and CDH2 influences the activity of other ion channels)
	mechanistic link among the cell adhesion molecule, CDH2, the actin-binding scaffold protein, CTTN, and KCNA5 remodeling in the heart
	FHL1C is a binding partner for KCNA5
	coexpression of CTNNB1 enhanced KCNA activity by fostering its membrane expression
	associates with CDH2, caveolin and PSD95/SAP97, as well as with lipid rafts
	CTNNB1 stimulates KCNA5 and thus participates in the shaping of the cardiac action potential and further KCNA5 sensitive cellular functions

REGULATION

activated by

DLG1 (requiring A specific N-terminal residue)

inhibited by

AMPK, that inhibits KCNA5 presumably in part by activation of NEDD4L with subsequent clearance of channel protein from the cell membrane

Other

modulation of its functional expression through Rab GTPases targeting in the cells
