- function: Voltage-gated potassium channel that mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes, primarily in the brain, but also in rodent heart. Mediates the major part of the dendritic A-type current I(SA) in brain neurons (By similarity). This current is activated at membrane potentials that are below the threshold for action potentials. It regulates neuronal excitability, prolongs the latency before the first spike in a series of action potentials, regulates the frequency of repetitive action potential firing, shortens the duration of action potentials and regulates the back-propagation of action potentials from the neuronal cell body to the dendrites. Contributes to the regulation of the circadian rhythm of action potential firing in suprachiasmatic nucleus neurons, which regulates the circadian rhythm of locomotor activity (By similarity). Functions downstream of the metabotropic glutamate receptor GRM5 and plays a role in neuronal excitability and in nociception mediated by activation of GRM5 (By similarity). Mediates the transient outward current I(to) in rodent heart left ventricle apex cells, but not in human heart, where this current is mediated by another family member. Forms tetrameric potassium-selective channels through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. The channel alternates between opened and closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane. Can form functional homotetrameric channels and heterotetrameric channels that contain variable proportions of KCND2 and KCND3; channel properties depend on the type of pore-forming alpha subunits that are part of the channel. In vivo, membranes probably contain a mixture of heteromeric potassium channel complexes. Interaction with specific isoforms of the regulatory subunits KCNIP1, KCNIP2, KCNIP3 or KCNIP4 strongly increases expression at the cell surface and thereby increases channel activity; it modulates the kinetics of channel activation and inactivation, shifts the threshold for channel activation to more negative voltage values, shifts the threshold for inactivation to less negative voltages and accelerates recovery after inactivation. Likewise, interaction with DPP6 or DPP10 promotes expression at the cell membrane and regulates both channel characteristics and activity (By similarity).
subunit: Homotetramer or heterotetramer with KCND1 or KCND3. Associates with the regulatory subunits KCNIP1, KCNIP2, KCNIP3 and KCNIP4. Interacts with DPP6, DPP10, DLG4 and DLG1. In vivo, probably exists as heteromeric complex containing variable proportions of KCND1, KCND2, KCND3, KCNIP1, KCNIP2, KCNIP3, KCNIP4, DPP6 and DPP10 (By similarity).

Interaction with KCNIP3 promotes tetramerization and formation of a functional potassium channel (By similarity). Interaction with four KCNIP4 chains does not reduce interaction with DPP10 (By similarity). Probably part of a complex consisting of KCNIP1, KCNIP2 isoform 3 and KCND2 (By similarity). Interacts with FLNA and FLNC (By similarity). Interacts with NCS1/FREQ (By similarity).

tcdb comment: The C-terminus interacts with KChIP2 to influence gating, surface trafficking and gene expression (Han et al., 2006; Schwenk et al., 2008). KChIPs (250 aas for mouse KChIP4a; Q6PHZ8) are homologous to domains in NADPH oxidases (5.B.1).Heteropoda toxin 2 (P58426; PDB 1EMX; TC#8.B.5.2.2) interactions with Kv4.3 and Kv4.1 give rise to differences in gating modifications (DeSimone et al., 2011). Mutations cause autism and seizures due to a slowing of channel inactivation (Lee et al. 2014). The stoichiometry of Kv4.2 and DPP6 is 4:4 (Soh and Goldstein 2008). Neferine, an isoquinoline alkaloid from plants, inhibits Kv4.3 channels, probably by blocking the open state (Wang et al. 2015). SUMOylating (derivatizing with small ubiquitin-like modifier) two distinct sites on Kv4.2, increases surface expression and decreases current amplitude (Welch et al. 2019)

- function: Voltage-gated potassium channel that mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes, primarily in the brain, but also in rodent heart. Mediates the major part of the dendritic A-type current I(SA) in brain neurons (PubMed:10818150, PubMed:17122039, PubMed:18045912, PubMed:18187474, PubMed:20371829, PubMed:22815518).

Forms tetrameric potassium-selective channels through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. The channel alternates between opened and closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane (PubMed:9734479, PubMed:22311982).

subunit: Homotetramer or heterotetramer with KCND3 or KCND1 (PubMed:9734479, PubMed:11909823, PubMed:19713751, PubMed:20943905). Associates with the regulatory subunits KCNIP1, KCNIP2, KCNIP3 and KCNIP4 (PubMed:11909823, PubMed:19713751, PubMed:20943905). In vivo, probably exists as heteromeric complex containing variable proportions of KCND1, KCND2, KCND3, KCNIP1, KCNIP2, KCNIP3, KCNIP4, DPP6 and DPP10 (PubMed:19713751).

disruption phenotype: Mice are viable, fertile and appear to be in good health (PubMed:16293790, PubMed:22738428). The loss of KCND2 has only minor functional consequences, probably due to an increase of the activity of other potassium channels, even though there is no visible change of their expression levels (PubMed:20371829). Mutant mice show no sign of heart dysfunction, but the fast component of the rapidly inactivating and rapidly recovering potassium current I(to) is lost in their ventricular myocytes (PubMed:16293790). Instead, a slowly inactivating current is expressed that is not observed in wild-type (PubMed:16293790). Electrocardiograms of mutant hearts display no significant differences relative to wild-type regarding their QT, PR, QRS and RR intervals (PubMed:16293790). The neuronal A-type current is reduced by about 80% in brain cortex and hippocampus CA1 pyramidal neurons, by about 50% in suprachiasmatic nucleus neurons and by about 60% in dorsal horn neurons (PubMed:17122039, PubMed:18045912, PubMed:18187474, PubMed:20371829, PubMed:22815518). The dendritic A- type current is abolished in pyramidal neurons from the hippocampus CA1 layer (PubMed:17122039). Concomitantly, the back-propagation of action potential in dendrites is increased (PubMed:17122039). This may lower the treshold for neuronal long-term potentiation (LTP) (PubMed:17122039). Loss of KCND2 does not influence the levels of KCND3 or KCNA4, but leads to reduced KCNIP1, KCNIP2 and KCNIP3 protein levels (PubMed:17122039, PubMed:18187474, PubMed:22612819). Mutant mice show only minor differences in their behavior when compared to wild-type; they display hyperactivity to some, but not all, novel stimuli (PubMed:22738428). Mutant mice show subtle spatial learning deficits (PubMed:20857488). Mutant mice display shorter periods of locomotor activity that wild-type littermates, due to a corresponding change in the circadian rhythm of repetitive firing in suprachiasmatic nucleus neurons (PubMed:22815518). Mutant mice display loss of spontaneous nociceptive behavior that is caused by the activation of GRM5 (PubMed:18045912).

TC 1.A.1.2.21 / Q95XD1 Shal (SHL-1, Kv4) K+ channels of 578 aas and 6 TMSs are the predominant transient outward current in C. elegans muscle. SHL-1 expression occurs in a subset of neurons, body wall muscle and in male-specific diagonal muscles (Fawcett et al. 2006) and control the excitability of neurons and cardiac myocytes by conducting rapidly activating-inactivating currents. Activity is modulated by three K+ channel interacting (KChIP) soluble auxiliary subunits, NCS-4, NCS-5, and NCS-7. All three ceKChIPs alter electrical characteristics of SHL-1 currents by slowing down inactivation kinetics and shifting voltage dependence of activation to more hyperpolarizing potentials. Native SHL-1 current is completely abolished in cultured myocytes of Triple KO worms in which all three KChIP genes are deleted from Caenorhabditis elegans
