Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit beta-1 or Kvß1.1 is encoded by the gene KCNAB1. Kvß1.1 is a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shaker-related subfamily. Alternative splicing of KCNAB1 allows for three distinct proteins to be made, Kvß1.1, Kvß1.2, and Kvß1.3. Each of these has a unique N terminus. Kvß1.1 is a cytoplasmic subunit that modulates the characteristics of the membrane spanning, channel-forming alpha-subunits. Beta subunits can promote the closure of channels or enhance channel activity depending on the channel members. Kvß1 is predominantly expressed in brain and found in hippocampus, cerebral cortex, caudate putamen, colliculus and cerebellum. Diseases associated with this gene include Episodic Ataxia, Type 1 and Familial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, 3
