| Function: | Cytoplasmic potassium channel subunit that modulates the characteristics of the channel-forming alpha-subunits (PubMed:9763623, PubMed:21357749). Contributes to the regulation of nerve signaling, and prevents neuronal hyperexcitability (By similarity). Promotes expression of the pore-forming alpha subunits at the cell membrane, and thereby increases channel activity (PubMed:10896669, PubMed:16770729, PubMed:18003609, PubMed:21357749). Promotes potassium channel closure via a mechanism that does not involve physical obstruction of the channel pore (PubMed:21357749). Modulates the functional properties of KCNA4 (PubMed:9763623). Modulates the functional properties of KCNA5 (By similarity). Enhances KCNB2 channel activity (By similarity). Binds NADPH and has NADPH-dependent aldoketoreductase activity (PubMed:18672894, PubMed:21209188). Has broad substrate specificity and can catalyze the reduction of methylglyoxal, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, prostaglandin J2, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde, 4-nitroacetophenone and 4-oxo- trans-2-nonenal (in vitro) (PubMed:18672894). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P62482, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10896669, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18003609, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18672894, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21209188, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21357749, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9763623}. | |

Interacts with KCNA4 and KCND3 (PubMed:12860406). Interacts with KCNA5 (By similarity). Interacts with KCNB2 (By similarity). Interacts (in unphosphorylated form) with MAPRE1 (PubMed:21357749). Forms a ternary complex with SQSTM1 and PRKCZ (PubMed:10477520). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P62482, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10477520, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10884227, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12860406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16002581, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18003609, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18004376, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18806782, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20360102, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20534430, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21357749, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23318870, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23705070, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9334400, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9763623}. | |
