MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a protein which regulates the activity of voltage-gated potassium channels. This gene is on chromosome 13 and overlaps the gene for tripartite motif containing 13 on the same strand. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified a T to G transversion at position 733 of the Kcnrg transcript using Genbank record NM_001039105.  The mutated nucleotide introduces a premature stop codon at tyrosine 234 of the encoded protein. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).

 
Protein Function and Prediction
The Kcnrg gene encodes a 264 amino acid protein soluble protein with characteristics suggesting it forms heterotetramers with voltage-gated potassium channels and inhibits their function. The protein contains a BTB/POZ domain at amino acids 5-74. This domain typically mediates homo- and heterodimerization (Uniprot Q2TUM3).
 
The premature stop introduced by the honey mutation in the Kcnrg gene truncates 31 amino acids from the C-terminus of the protein. The majority of the protein, including the BTB domain, is left intact suggesting the possibility that the honey allele may be hypomorphic.
