Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables potassium channel regulator activity. Involved in protein localization to plasma membrane; regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential; and regulation of potassium ion transmembrane transport. Acts upstream of or within neuronal action potential and positive regulation of potassium ion transmembrane transport. Located in plasma membrane. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; alimentary system; central nervous system; intervertebral disc; and nose. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 33; and spinal muscular atrophy. Orthologous to human DPP6 (dipeptidyl peptidase like 6).
