DiseaseNote=KCND3 rare variants may confer risk for lethal ventricular arrhytmias and be associated with autopsy-negative sudden unexplained death syndrome (SUDS).
DiseaseSpinocerebellar ataxia 19 (SCA19) [MIM:607346]: A form of spinocerebellar ataxia, a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders. Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord. SCA19 is a relatively mild, cerebellar ataxic syndrome with cognitive impairment, pyramidal tract involvement, tremor and peripheral neuropathy, and mild atrophy of the cerebellar hemispheres and vermis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23280837, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23280838}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
DomainThe segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position.
FunctionPore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. May contribute to I(To) current in heart and I(Sa) current in neurons. Channel properties are modulated by interactions with other alpha subunits and with regulatory subunits. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10200233, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9843794}.
PtmRegulated through phosphorylation at Ser-569 by CaMK2D. {ECO:0000250}.
SimilarityBelongs to the potassium channel family. D (Shal) (TC 1.A.1.2) subfamily. Kv4.3/KCND3 sub-subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationMembrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane, sarcolemma {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250}.
SubunitHomotetramer or heterotetramer with KCND1 and/or KCND2. Associates with the regulatory subunits KCNIP1, KCNIP2, KCNIP3 and KCNIP4 (By similarity). Interacts with KCNE1, KCNE2, SCN1B and KCNAB1 and DLG1. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12297301, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14980207, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17187064, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19213956}.
Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in heart and brain, in particular in cortex, cerebellum, amygdala and caudate nucleus. Detected at lower levels in liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Isoform 1 predominates in most tissues. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are detected at similar levels in brain, skeletal muscle and pancreas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10200233, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10729221, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9843794}.
