KCNN4
Forms a voltage-independent potassium channel that is activated by intracellular calcium. Activation is followed by membrane hyperpolarization which promotes calcium influx. Required for maximal calcium influx and proliferation during the reactivation of naive T-cells. Plays a role in the late stages of EGF-induced macropinocytosis. Belongs to the potassium channel KCNN family. KCa3.1/KCNN4 subfamily. Widely expressed in non-excitable tissues. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
