    basic FUNCTION
  • modulates the gating of KCNMA1 by enhancing the allosteric coupling between voltage-sensor activation and the channel closed–open transition
  • role in the suppression of tumor growth and metastasis may be through its alteration of the tumor microenvironment
  • LRRC52 and LRRC26 define a new family of auxiliary subunits capable of critically modifying the gating behavior of Slo family channels
  • LRRC52, LRRC55, and LRRC38 potentially function as LRRC26-type auxiliary subunits of BK channels
  • LRRC26 and its paralogs are structurally and functionally distinct from the beta-subunits and are a gamma family of the BK channel auxiliary proteins, which potentially regulate the channel gating properties over a spectrum of different tissues or cell types

    small molecule
    protein
  • auxiliary protein of BK channels that can associate with KCNMA1
  • both LRRC26 and LRRC52 are able to modify KCNU1 function
  • associates with KCNMA1 subunits, and elevates channel voltage- and apparent Ca2+-sensitivity in arterial myocytes to induce vasodilation (PMID;
