Kv channel-interacting protein 2; KChIP2; A-type K+ channel modulatory protein 2; K+ channel-interacting protein 2; cardiac voltage gated K+ channel modulatory subunit (KCNIP2, KCHIP2)
Function:
1) regulatory subunit of Kv4/D (Shal)-type voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type K+ channels
2) modulates channels density, inactivation kinetics & rate of recovery from inactivation
3) Ca+2-dependent
4) in vitro, modulates Kv4.2 & Kv4.3 currents
5) Kv4.2 & Kv4.3 trafficking to the cell surface
6) component of heteromultimeric K+ channels; Kv4.2/KCNIP2 channel complex contains 4 Kv4.2 & 4 KCNIP2 subunits
7) isoform 1 & isoform 3 interact with Kv4.3 isoform 1
8) involved in KCND2 & KCND3 trafficking to the cell surface
9) may be required for the expression of I(To) currents in the heart
Structure:
- at least isoform 2 & isoform 3 can self-associate to form homodimers & homotetramers
- belongs to the recoverin family
- contains 4 EF-hand domains
Compartment:
- cell membrane, lipid-anchor (palmitate)
- palmitoylation enhances association with plasma membrane
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=9
Expression:
- expressed in brain
- colocalizes with Kv4.2 in excitatory neurons including cortical & hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells
- isoform 3 is expressed in heart, umbilical vein endothelial cells
- not expressed in fetal heart
