Kcnb1 - potassium voltage gated channel, Shab-related subfamily, member 1

Enables delayed rectifier potassium channel activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; negative regulation of insulin secretion; and positive regulation of long-term synaptic depression. Located in dendrite and neuronal cell body membrane. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and gut. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 26 and epilepsy. Orthologous to human KCNB1 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily B member 1).
