Potassium channels represent the most complex class of
voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural
standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating
neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal
excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle
contraction, and cell volume. Four sequence-related potassium
channel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identified
in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s).
This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated,
shaker-related subfamily. This member includes three distinct
isoforms which are encoded by three alternatively spliced
transcript variants of this gene. These three isoforms are beta
subunits, which form heteromultimeric complex with alpha subunits
and modulate the activity of the pore-forming alpha subunits.1) Rose, J.E., et al. Mol. Med. 16 (7-8), 247-253 (2010) :
