Disease

KCNN4_HUMAN The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

KCNN4_HUMAN Forms a voltage-independent potassium channel that is activated by intracellular calcium (PubMed:26148990). Activation is followed by membrane hyperpolarization which promotes calcium influx. Required for maximal calcium influx and proliferation during the reactivation of naive T-cells. The channel is blocked by clotrimazole and charybdotoxin but is insensitive to apamin (PubMed:17157250, PubMed:18796614).^{[1] [2] [3]}
