ID:KCNG3_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily G member 3; AltName: Full=Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv10.1; AltName: Full=Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv6.3; FUNCTION: Potassium channel subunit. Modulates channel activity. SUBUNIT: Heteromultimer with KCNB1, KCNC1 and KCNF1. Does not form homomultimers. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Has to be associated with KCNB1 or possibly another partner to get inserted in the plasma membrane. Remains intracellular in the absence of KCNB1. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in many parts of the brain with the exception of the cerebellum, in testis, pancreas, lung, kidney, ovary, small intestine, colon, thymus, adrenal gland and spinal cord. DOMAIN: The segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the potassium channel family. G (TC 1.A.1.2) subfamily. Kv6.3/KCNG3 sub-subfamily.
