Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables calcium-activated potassium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell volume homeostasis; potassium ion transmembrane transport; and saliva secretion. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; and cytosol. Predicted to be active in neuron projection; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver; metanephros; nervous system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in angiosarcoma; cerebral infarction; dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis 2; hypertension; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human KCNN4 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily N member 4).
