KCNE1 is an auxiliary subunit of two distinct ion channel superfamiliesKCNE1, a β-subunit of the cardiac KCNQ1 channel belonging to the voltage-dependent channel superfamily, serves also as an auxiliary subunit of the anoctamin superfamily member TMEM16A, a calcium-activated chloride channel. By interacting with TMEM16A, KCNE1 induces a voltage-dependent current in the absence of intracellular calcium elevation dynamically regulated by angiotensin II in native tissue.KCNE1, a β-subunit of the cardiac KCNQ1 channel belonging to the voltage-dependent channel superfamily, serves also as an auxiliary subunit of the anoctamin superfamily member TMEM16A, a calcium-activated chloride channel.
