Usage
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
Regulatory subunit of the calcium activated potassium KCNMA1 (maxiK) channel. Modulates the calcium sensitivity and gating kinetics of KCNMA1, thereby contributing to KCNMA1 channel diversity. Decreases the gating kinetics and calcium sensitivity of the KCNMA1 channel, but with fast deactivation kinetics. May decrease KCNMA1 channel openings at low calcium concentrations but increases channel openings at high calcium concentrations. Makes KCNMA1 channel resistant to 100 nM charybdotoxin (CTX) toxin concentrations.
Gene References into Functions
Two recurrent fusion genes associated with the 12q locus, LRP1-SNRNP25 and KCNMB4-CCND3, were by RT-PCR, Sanger sequencing and FISH, and were found to be osteosarcoma specific in a validation cohort of 240 other sarcomas.PMID:25300797
BK channel beta4 subunit influences sensitivity and tolerance to alcohol by altering its response to kinasesPMID:25190810
Study shows that beta4 subunit of the MaxiK channel has no potential endocytic signal and 2 specific amino acids in the functional basic motif retention/retrieval trafficking signal at the C-terminus may play a role in controlling cellular excitabilityPMID:24486049
our data suggest that the rs398702 variant in the KCNMB4 gene is unlikely to influence significantly the risk of developing mesial temporal lobe epilepsy or its severityPMID:23623847
These results suggest that fast-gating, type I BK channels lacking beta4 can increase neuronal excitability in response to reduced phosphatase activity and activation of calcium channels.PMID:21848922

The beta4 subunit controls ethanol tolerance at the molecular, cellular, and behavioral levels, and could determine individual differences in alcohol abuse and alcoholism, as well as represent a therapeutic target for alcoholism.PMID:18981408
results argue that, for native mouse Slo3 channels, the beta4 subunit must be considered as a potential interaction partner and, furthermore, that KCNMB subunits may have functions unrelated to regulation of the Slo1 alpha subunitPMID:19578543
