slo-2

Caenorhabditis elegans

Enables calcium-activated potassium channel activity and outward rectifier potassium channel activity. Involved in positive regulation of neurotransmitter secretion and potassium ion transport. Located in axon. Expressed in amphid neurons; body wall musculature; motor neurons; nerve ring; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy 5; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 14; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 57. Is an ortholog of human KCNT1 (potassium sodium-activated channel subfamily T member 1) and KCNT2 (potassium sodium-activated channel subfamily T member 2).

slo-1

Caenorhabditis elegans

Enables calcium-activated potassium channel activity and voltage-gated potassium channel activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to ethanol; nematode pharyngeal pumping; and sarcomere organization. Located in M band; striated muscle dense body; and synapse. Expressed in several structures, including AWC; body wall musculature; non-striated muscle; pharyngeal neurons; and somatic nervous system. Used to study Duchenne muscular dystrophy and alcohol use disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; idiopathic generalized epilepsy; paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia 3; and spermatogenic failure. Is an ortholog of human KCNMA1 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M alpha 1).

bkip-1

Caenorhabditis elegans

Enables transmembrane transporter binding activity. Located in neuron projection and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in body wall musculature; head mesodermal cell; muscle cell; neurons; and somatic nervous system.

unc-64

Caenorhabditis elegans

Enables protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; positive regulation of anterior/posterior axon guidance; and ventral cord development. Located in axon; basolateral plasma membrane; and somatodendritic compartment. Expressed in several structures, including excretory gland cell; hermaphrodite gonad; intestine; nervous system; and rectal gland cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; Hirschsprung's disease; and generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus 9. Is an ortholog of human STX1A (syntaxin 1A).
