What's a GeneRIF?

Endogenous KCNE2 in cardiomyocytes is important in maintaining cardiac electrical stability mainly by regulating Ito and action potential duration.
Title: Manipulation of KCNE2 expression modulates action potential duration and Ito and IK in rat and mouse ventricular myocytes.
The KCNE2 mutation R27C may induce familial atrial fibrillation partially through enhancing the suppression of Cav1.2 calcium channel.
Title: KCNE2 modulates cardiac L-type Ca(2+) channel.
KCNE1 and KCNE2, auxiliary subunits of voltage-gated potassium channels, undergo sequential cleavage mediated by either alpha-secretase and presenilin(PS)/gamma-secretase or BACE1 and PS/gamma-secretase in cells.
Title: BACE1 and presenilin/γ-secretase regulate proteolytic processing of KCNE1 and 2, auxiliary subunits of voltage-gated potassium channels.
KCNE1 and KCNE2 suppress currents generated by homomeric Kv1.4, Kv3.3, and Kv3.4 channels
Title: KCNE1 and KCNE2 provide a checkpoint governing voltage-gated potassium channel α-subunit composition.
currents generated by homomeric Kv1.4, Kv3.3, and Kv3.4 channels are all strongly suppressed by the single transmembrane domain ancillary (beta) subunits KCNE1 and KCNE2
Title: KCNE1 and KCNE2 inhibit forward trafficking of homomeric N-type voltage-gated potassium channels.
KCNE2 can modulate its partner channel function not only by altering channel conductance and/or gating kinetics, but also by affecting protein stability.
Title: KCNE2 protein is more abundant in ventricles than in atria and can accelerate hERG protein degradation in a phosphorylation-dependent manner.
KCNE-2 potassium channel and KCNH-2 are molecular subunits of an inwardly rectifying potassium channel complex.
Title: The stoichiometric relationship between KCNH-2 and KCNE-2 in I(Kr) channel formation.
mRNA expression for Kcnd2 and Kcne2 was significantly reduced in diabetic rats which may underlie delayed propagation of electrical activity in the ventricular myocardium
Title: Altered gene expression may underlie prolonged duration of the QT interval and ventricular action potential in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat heart.
Rat MinK and MiRP1 reduced Kv2.1 current density three- and twofold, respectively; slowed Kv2.1 activation (at +60 mV) two- and threefold, respectively; and slowed Kv2.1 deactivation less than twofold.
Title: Regulation of the Kv2.1 potassium channel by MinK and MiRP1.
In aging rat ventricle, KCNE2 may associate with HCN2 and enhance its current amplitude. KCNE2 protein is expressed in ventricles, and it can play diverse roles in ventricular electrical activity under (patho)physiological conditions.
Title: KCNE2 protein is expressed in ventricles of different species, and changes in its expression contribute to electrical remodeling in diseased hearts.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
