Kcnc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables kinesin binding activity and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of potassium ion transmembrane transport; potassium ion transmembrane transport; and protein tetramerization. Located in axolemma; dendrite membrane; and neuronal cell body membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; hindlimb muscle; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in progressive myoclonus epilepsy 7. Orthologous to human KCNC1 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily C member 1).

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 Kcnc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
