    Applications
    The KCNMA1 gene codes for the voltage-gated calcium-activated potassium channel subunit alpha-1, also referred to as the large conductance calcium-activated potassium channel, subfamily M, alpha member 1 (KCa1.1), or BK channel alpha subunit. It is distinguished by its high conductance of potassium ions (K+) across cell membranes. Alterations in the electrical potential of the membrane and/or elevations in the intracellular calcium ion concentration can activate BK channels. K+ can passively move via open BK channels and down the electrochemical gradient. This causes an efflux of K+ from the cell under normal physiological conditions, which in turn causes hyperpolarization of the cell membrane and a reduction in the excitability of the cell. The customized KCNMA1 stable cell line can be used in antibody discovery and development, potential drug candidate screening and signaling pathway researches.

    Published Data

    Fig.1 Location and consequence of KCNMA1 variants in the BK K+ channel.

    Sample inside-out patch-clamp recordings from HEK293 cells expressing the BKWT, BKN999S, BKD434G, and BKH444Q channels. In symmetrical K+ and 1 μM intracellular Ca2+, macroscopic BK currents were measured by maintaining patches at -100 mV, stepping from -100 to 250 mV for 30 ms, and then performing a tail step of -100 mV for 15 ms.

    Research Highlights

    Movement problem, seizures, intellectual disability, and developmental delay can occur in different and overlapping combinations in KCNMA1-linked channelopathy, a newly diagnosed neurological condition.

    The large-conductance Ca2+-activated K⁺ channel's pore-forming α-subunit is encoded by the KCNMA1 gene, which is located at 10q22. Gastric carcinoma tumors exhibit down-regulation of KCNMA1 due to hypermethylation of its promoter.
