| Function |
Auxiliary protein of the large-conductance, voltage and calcium-activated potassium channel (BK alpha). Required for the conversion of BK alpha channels from a high-voltage to a low- voltage activated channel type in non-excitable cells. These are characterized by negative membrane voltages and constant low levels of calcium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20613726, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22547800}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Localizes to the cytoplasm when expressed at high levels. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15164053}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Isoform 1 is expressed highly in normal prostate and salivary gland, very weakly in colon, pancreas, and intestine, and not at all in other tissues. Isoform 1 is expressed highly in many cancer cell lines and in breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and colon cancer. Isoform 2 is expressed in cancer cell lines. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16585525, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19250639}.
