Kcnip1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; potassium channel regulator activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of action potential; regulation of potassium ion transmembrane transport; and regulation of signal transduction. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; ganglia; intestine smooth muscle circular layer; spinal cord; and testis. Orthologous to human KCNIP1 (potassium voltage-gated channel interacting protein 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 Kcnip1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
