KCNN4. also known as SK4 or KCa3.1. is a potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily N member 4 encoded by the *KCNN4* gene. It belongs to the intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channel family, which regulates cellular membrane potential and calcium signaling. This channel is widely expressed in immune cells (e.g., T lymphocytes, macrophages), epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and certain cancer cells, where it plays roles in proliferation, migration, and secretory functions. Its activity is tightly controlled by intracellular calcium levels via calmodulin binding, making it a critical mediator of calcium-dependent cellular responses.
Structurally, KCNN4 comprises six transmembrane domains with intracellular N- and C-termini, forming a tetrameric pore selective for potassium ions. Recombinant KCNN4 proteins are engineered in vitro using expression systems (e.g., HEK293 cells, *E. coli*) to study channel properties, screen modulators, or develop therapeutic agents. These recombinant proteins retain functional features of native channels, enabling researchers to investigate their pharmacological profiles, biophysical characteristics, and disease-related mutations.
Research highlights KCNN4's involvement in pathological conditions, including cancers, inflammatory diseases, and fibrosis. For example, upregulated KCNN4 in solid tumors promotes cancer cell invasion and metastasis, while in autoimmune disorders, it modulates immune cell activation. Inhibitors like TRAM-34 selectively block KCa3.1 channels, showing therapeutic potential in preclinical models of asthma, atherosclerosis, and sickle cell disease. Recombinant KCNN4 also aids in structural studies to design targeted drugs and understand mutation-induced dysfunction. Despite progress, challenges remain in optimizing specificity and delivery of KCNN4-targeted therapies, underscoring the need for further research into its complex regulatory mechanisms.
