KCNF1 (Voltage-gated potassium channel regulatory subunit KCNF1) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Regulatory alpha-subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel which, when coassembled with KCNB1 or KCNB2, can modulate their expression and their gating kinetics by acting on deactivation upon repolarisation and inactivation during maintained depolarisation. Accelerates inactivation but has relatively little effect on deactivation. Coexpression with KCNB1 or KCNB2 markedly slows inactivation. Each modulatory subunit has its own specific properties of regulation, and can lead to extensive inhibitions, to large changes in kinetics, and/or to large shifts in the voltage dependencies of the inactivation process. The gating kinetics depends on the nature and stoichiometry of the associated regulatory sunbunit. Fails to produce a potassium current when expressed alone. Location: Cell membrane (UniProt). Locus 2p25.1 (HGNC).
