FunctionRegulatory subunit of Kv4/D (Shal)-type voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. Essential for the expression of I(To) currents in the heart and is also involved in controlling KCND2/Kv4.2-mediated I(To) currents in the heart (By similarity). Probably modulates channels density, inactivation kinetics and rate of recovery from inactivation in a calcium- dependent and isoform-specific manner. In vitro, modulates KCND2/Kv4.2 and KCND3/Kv4.3 currents. Involved in KCND2 and KCND3 trafficking to the cell surface. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JJ69, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10676964, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11287421, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11684073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12297301, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12829703, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14623880}.

SubunitComponent of heteromultimeric potassium channels. The KCND2-KCNIP2 channel complex contains four KCND2 and four KCNIP2 subunits. Interacts with KCND2. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 interact with KCND3 isoform 1. Probably part of a complex consisting of KCNIP1, KCNIP2 isoform 3 and KCND2. At least isoform 2 and isoform 3 can self-associate to form homodimers and homotetramers. Isoform 3 interacts with KCNIP1 in a calcium-dependent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10676964, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11287421, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12297301, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15356203, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15358149}.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in brain. Colocalizes with KCND2 in excitatory neurons including cortical and hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells. Isoform 3 is expressed in heart and in umbilical vein endothelial cells. Not expressed in fetal heart. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11263977, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11684073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15356203}.
