Facts about Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 1.
Assembled with KCNB1 modulates the gating characteristics of the delayed rectifier voltage-dependent potassium channel KCNB1 (PubMed:19219384). Assembled with KCNQ1/KVLQT1 is suggested to form the slowly activating delayed rectifier cardiac potassium (IKs) channel.

Expressed in lung, kidney, testis, ovaries, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes. Expressed in the heart (PubMed:19219384). Not detected in pancreas, spleen, prostate and colon. Restrictively localized in the apical membrane portion of epithelial cells.
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Apical cell membrane. Membrane raft. Colocalizes with KCNB1 at the plasma membrane (By similarity). Targets to the membrane raft when associated with KCNQ1 (PubMed:20533308).
