KCNG1 — Potassium voltage-gated channel modifier subfamily G member 1
KCNG1 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Regulatory alpha-subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel which, when coassembled with KCNB1 or KCNB2, can modulate their expression and their gating kinetics by acting on deactivation upon repolarization and inactivation during maintained depolarization. Potassium channel subunit that does not form functional channels by itself
