OverviewNCBI Gene
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. Four sequence-related potassium channel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identified in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s). This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shab-related subfamily. This member is a delayed rectifier potassium channel and its activity is modulated by some other family members. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads KCNB1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against KCNB1 could matter depends on whether native KCNB1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
KCNB1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native KCNB1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label KCNB1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
