KCNIP4 (CALP, KCHIP4, Kv Channel-interacting Protein 4, A-type Potassium Channel Modulatory Protein 4, Calsenilin-like Protein, Potassium Channel-interacting Protein 4, MGC44947) (FITC)

This gene encodes a member of the family of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel-interacting proteins (KCNIPs), which belong to the recoverin branch of the EF-hand superfamily. Members of the KCNIP family are small calcium binding proteins. They all have EF-hand-like domains, and differ from each other in the N-terminus. They are integral subunit components of native Kv4 channel complexes. They may regulate A-type currents, and hence neuronal excitability, in response to changes in intracellular calcium. This protein member also interacts with presenilin. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript...
