Facts about Calcium-activated potassium channel subunit beta-4.
Decreases the gating kinetics and calcium sensitivity of the KCNMA1 channel, but with fast deactivation kinetics. May reduce KCNMA1 channel openings at low calcium concentrations but increases channel openings at high calcium concentrations.

Predominantly expressed in brain. In brain, it is expressed in the cerebellum, cerebral cortex, medulla, spinal cord, occipital pole, frontal lobe, temporal lobe, putamen, amygdala, caudate nucleus, corpus callosum, hippocampus, substantia nigra and thalamus. Weakly or not expressed in other tissues.
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
