Summary
KCNE2 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E regulatory subunit 2, HGNC:6242) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 21q22.11, encoding Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 2 (Q9Y6J6). Ancillary protein that functions as a regulatory subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel complex composed of pore-forming and potassium-conducting alpha subunits and of regulatory beta subunits.
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, isk-related subfamily. This member is a small integral membrane subunit that assembles with the KCNH2 gene product, a pore-forming protein, to alter its function. This gene is expressed in heart and muscle and the gene mutations are associated with cardiac arrhythmia.

Function. Ancillary protein that functions as a regulatory subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel complex composed of pore-forming and potassium-conducting alpha subunits and of regulatory beta subunits. KCNE2 beta subunit modulates the gating kinetics and enhances stability of the channel complex. Alters the gating of the delayed rectifier Kv channel containing KCNB1 alpha subunit. Associates with KCNH2/HERG alpha subunit Kv channel to form the rapidly activating component of the delayed rectifying potassium current (IKr) in heart. May associate with KCNQ2 and/or KCNQ3 alpha subunits to modulate the native M-type current. May associate with HCN1 and HCN2 channel subunits to increase potassium current. Forms a heterooligomer complex with KCNQ1/KVLQT1 alpha subunits which leads to currents with an apparently instantaneous activation, a rapid deactivation process and a linear current-voltage relationship and decreases the amplitude of the outward current. KCNQ1-KCNE2 channel associates with Na(+)-coupled myo-inositol symporter in the apical membrane of choroid plexus epithelium and regulates the myo-inositol gradient between blood and cerebrospinal fluid with an impact on neuron excitability.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with KCNB1. Associates with KCNH2/ERG1. May associate with KCNQ2 and KCNQ3. Associates with HCN1 and probably HCN2. Heteromultimer with KCNC2. Interacts with KCNC2. Interacts with KCNQ1; forms a heterooligomer complex that targets to the membrane raft and leading to currents with an apparently instantaneous activation, a rapid deactivation process and a linear current-voltage relationship and decreases the amplitude of the outward current.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in brain, heart, skeletal muscle, pancreas, placenta, kidney, colon and thymus. A small but significant expression is found in liver, ovary, testis, prostate, small intestine and leukocytes. Very low expression, nearly undetectable, in lung and spleen.
Disease relevance. Long QT syndrome 6 (LQT6) [MIM:613693] A heart disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval on the ECG and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. They cause syncope and sudden death in response to exercise or emotional stress, and can present with a sentinel event of sudden cardiac death in infancy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Atrial fibrillation, familial, 4 (ATFB4) [MIM:611493] A familial form of atrial fibrillation, a common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance. Atrial fibrillation is characterized by disorganized atrial electrical activity and ineffective atrial contraction promoting blood stasis in the atria and reduces ventricular filling. It can result in palpitations, syncope, thromboembolic stroke, and congestive heart failure. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the potassium channel KCNE family.
