Facts about Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily S member 3.
Heterotetrameric channel activity formed with KCNB1 show increased current amplitude with the threshold for action potential activation shifted towards more negative values in hypoxic-treated pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (By similarity). .

Detected in whole normal term placental and placental chorionic plate arteries and veins. Detected in syncytiotrophoblast and in blood vessel endothelium within intermediate villi and chorionic plate (at protein level) (PubMed:22943705). Detected in most tissues, but not in peripheral blood lymphocytes. The highest levels of expression are in lung (PubMed:10484328).
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. May not reach the plasma membrane but remain in an intracellular compartment in the absence of KCNB1 (PubMed:10484328).
