Kcne1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables potassium channel regulator activity. Involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport; secretory granule organization; and vestibular nucleus development. Acts upstream of or within epithelial cell maturation; heart contraction; and regulation of heart rate by cardiac conduction. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is active in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including ear; embryo ectoderm; genitourinary system; great vessel of heart; and heart. Used to study Jervell-Lange Nielsen syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Jervell-Lange Nielsen syndrome; atrial fibrillation; long QT syndrome; and long QT syndrome 5. Orthologous to human KCNE1 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E regulatory subunit 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Kcne1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
