Facts about Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 2.
Types tetrameric potassium- selective channels through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. The station alternates between opened and closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane (PubMed:19912772, PubMed:8495559, PubMed:11211111, PubMed:23769686).

Detected in brain cortex (PubMed:16473933). Detected in peroneal nerve in the juxtaparanodal regions of the node of Ranvier; expression is decreased in patients with diabetes mellitus that suffer from axonal neuropathy (PubMed:22649228). Detected in paranodal and juxtanodal zones in myelinated spinal cord (at protein level) (PubMed:11086297).

Cell junction, synapse, synaptosome. Cell junction, synapse, presynaptic cell membrane. Cell projection, dendrite. Cell junction, paranodal septate junction. KCNA2 by itself is detected both at the endoplasmic reticulum and at the cell membrane. Coexpression with KCNA4 or with beta subunits promotes expression at the cell membrane. Coexpression with KCNA1 inhibits cell surface expression. In myelinated peripheral axons, cl
