UniProt functional annotation for Q9NZI2

UniProt code: Q9NZI2.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Regulatory subunit of Kv4/D (Shal)-type voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. Regulates channel density, inactivation kinetics and rate of recovery from inactivation in a calcium-dependent and isoform-specific manner. In vitro, modulates KCND1/Kv4.1 and KCND2/Kv4.2 currents. Increases the presence of KCND2 at the cell surface. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10676964, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11423117, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12829703, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17187064}.
 
Subunit: Component of heteromultimeric potassium channels. Identified in potassium channel complexes containing KCND1, KCND2, KCND3, KCNIP1, KCNIP2, KCNIP3, KCNIP4, DPP6 and DPP10 (By similarity). Part of a heterooctamer composed of the tetrameric channel and four KCNIP1 chains. Interacts with KCND3 and the N-terminal domain of KCND2. Probably part of a complex consisting of KCNIP1, KCNIP2 isoform 3 and KCND2. Self-associates to form homodimers and homotetramers. Interacts with KCNIP2 isoform 3 in a calcium-dependent manner. Interacts with Naja atra venom CTX3. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JJ57, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10676964, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14980207, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15184042, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15358149, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17057713, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17187064}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10676964}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000305|PubMed:10676964}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10676964}. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8R426}.
Tissue specificity: Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in brain and kidney. Isoform 1 is also expressed in liver, pancreas, skeletal muscle, small intestine and testis. Isoform 2 is also expressed in lung, pancreas, leukocytes, prostate and thymus.
Similarity: Belongs to the recoverin family. {ECO:0000305}.
