Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
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. Is 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 79. Orthologous to several human genes including KCNMA1 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M alpha 1).
WB Description
slo-1 encodes a voltage- and calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel; SLO-1 activity is required for muscle inactivation: mutants have wild-type levels of motor activity, but have less smooth movement and tend to stop and reverse direction; SLO-1 is expressed in neurons and in body wall and vulval muscle; SLO-1 localization in proximity to the EGL-19 L-type calcium channel in muscle membrane is mediated by the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC) and the ISLO-1 adapter protein with which SLO-1 physically interacts and also colocalizes with in muscle membrane.
