Kcnb1 - potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily B member 1

Enables several functions, including protein heterodimerization activity; transmembrane transporter binding activity; and voltage-gated potassium channel activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of transport; potassium ion export across plasma membrane; and regulation of motor neuron apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within potassium ion transport. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite membrane; neuronal cell body membrane; and perikaryon. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
