ID:KCNN3_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel protein 3; Short=SK3; Short=SKCa 3; Short=SKCa3; AltName: Full=KCa2.3; FUNCTION: Forms a voltage-independent potassium channel activated by intracellular calcium. Activation is followed by membrane hyperpolarization. Thought to regulate neuronal excitability by contributing to the slow component of synaptic afterhyperpolarization. The channel is blocked by apamin. SUBUNIT: Heterooligomer. The complex is composed of 4 channel subunits each of which binds to a calmodulin subunit which regulates the channel activity through calcium-binding (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. POLYMORPHISM: The second poly-Gln region of KCNN3 is highly polymorphic and the number of Gln varies from 12 to 28 in the population. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the potassium channel KCNN family. KCa2.3/KCNN3 subfamily.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
