motifs/domains
| cytosolic N terminus domain, highly conserved, controlling desactivation by association with K+ channel, |
|
six membrane spanning domains with an hydrophobic pore flanked by TM domains 5 and 6 |
|
arginine-rich fourth TM domain controling voltage dependent gating, |
|
one cyclic nucleotide-binding domain |
|
one PAS (per-arnt-sim) dimerization domain. |
|
one PAS-associated c-terminal (PAC) domain |
|
C-terminal region containing a cyclic-nucleotide-binding homology domain (CNBHD), and C-linker that couples the CNBHD to the pore |
|
and a large intracellular carboxy-terminal region that shares structural similarity with cyclic nucleotide-binding homology domains (CNBHD |
basic FUNCTION
| pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated non- inactivating delayed rectifier potassium channel |
|
implicated in neuronal signaling as well as in cancer cell proliferation |
|
might participate potentially in the homeostasis of nuclear K(+), or indirectly interact with heterochromatin, both factors known to affect gene expression |
|
its channel activity is regulated by EGFR kinase at the tyrosine residues Tyr90, Try344, and Try485, effect likely involved in regulating neuronal activity and/or tumor growth |
|
participates in cancer initiation and tumor progression |
