8.A.5.1.1
K+ channel β1a chain.  Functions with Kv1.2 (Kvα1;KCNA2; TC# 1.A.1.2.10) to promote fast inactivation (Peters et al. 2009). Mediates closure of delayed rectifier potassium channels by physically obstructing the pore via its N-terminal domain and increases the speed of channel closure for other family members (Accili et al. 1998). Promotes the closure of KCNA1, KCNA2 and KCNA5 channels Accelerates the closure of heteromeric channels formed by KCNA1, KCNA2, KCNA4, KCNA5 and KCNA6. Binds NADPH as is required for efficient down-regulation of potassium channel activity (Tipparaju et al. 2007). The protein has NADPH-dependent aldoketoreductase activity, and oxidation of the bound NADPH decreases N-type inactivation of channel activity.
