Summary: Enables identical protein binding activity and monoatomic ion channel activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of small intestine smooth muscle contraction; positive regulation of neuron apoptotic process; and response to estrogen. Located in several cellular components, including external side of plasma membrane; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and presynaptic active zone membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; idiopathic generalized epilepsy; and paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia 3. Orthologous to human KCNMA1 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M alpha 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
