MaxiK channels are large conductance voltage and Ca 2+-activated potassium channels which are formed by tetramers of MaxiKalpha subunits, which create pores that are used for smooth muscle tone and neuronal excitability. These MaxiKalpha subunits have the ability to coassemble with MaxiKbeta subunits that are structurally related and are able to regulate the function of MaxiKalpha subunits. KCNMB4 (potassium large conductance calcium-activated channel, subfamily M, beta member 4), also known as Slo-beta-4 or Maxi K channel subunit beta-4, is a 210 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein belonging to the KCNMB family. Predominantly expressed in brain, KCNMB4 is a regulatory subunit of the calcium activated potassium MaxiKalpha channel. KCNMB4 contributes to MaxiKalpha channel diversity by modulating calcium sensitivity and gating kinetics of MaxiKalpha.
