## Summary The KCNN4 gene encodes a protein that is a member of the potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily N (KCNN) protein family. KCNNs are a large family of ion channels that are expressed in a variety of cell types. They are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including calcium signaling, cell volume homeostasis, and immune responses. ## Key characteristics * KCNN4 is a transmembrane protein that is expressed in various cell types. * It is a member of the KCNN family of potassium channels. * It is a ligand-gated channel, meaning that its activity is modulated by the binding of a specific ligand. * KCNN4 is expressed in high levels in cells that are exposed to calcium, such as retinal cone cells and placental villous trophoblast cells. * It is also expressed in cells that are involved in immune responses, such as serous secreting cells and macrophages. ## Pathways and functions * KCNN4 is a key regulator of calcium signaling in many cell types. * It is involved in the regulation of cell volume homeostasis, by controlling the opening and closing of potassium channels in the cell membrane. * It is also involved in the regulation of immune responses, by controlling the opening and closing of potassium channels in immune cells. * KCNN4 is a key regulator of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, a process by which epithelial cells lose their epithelial characteristics and become mesenchymal cells. ## Clinical significance Mutations in KCNN4 have been linked to a number of human diseases, including glaucoma, epilepsy, and asthma. These diseases are characterized by abnormal calcium signaling and cell volume homeostasis. KCNN4 is a promising target for the treatment of these diseases. ## Other important points * KCNN4 is a highly conserved protein, with a similar sequence in mammals, birds, and reptiles. * It is a member of therodotoxin superfamily of potassium channels. * It is a relatively new protein, with the first sequence being identified in 2003.
