KCNIP4

KCNIP4, also known as Kv channel-interacting protein 4, belongs to the family of Kv channel-interacting proteins (KCNIPs), also known as Kv channel regulatory proteins (KCHIPs). These proteins are associated with voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels and modulate their function. One of the primary functions of KCNIP4 is its role in regulating the properties of Kv channels. Kv channels are integral membrane proteins that play a crucial role in controlling the electrical activity of cells by regulating the flow of potassium ions across cell membranes. KCNIP4 interacts with Kv channels and modulates their gating kinetics, voltage dependence, and trafficking to the cell membrane,...
