ABCB8 PrEST Antigen

Protein function: ATP-binding subunit of the mitochondrial potassium channel located in the mitochondrial inner membrane (PubMed:31435016). Together with CCDC51/MITOK, forms a protein complex localized in the mitochondria that mediates ATP-dependent potassium currents across the inner membrane (that is, mitoK(ATP) channel) (PubMed:31435016). Plays a role in mitochondrial iron transport (PubMed:30623799). Required for maintenance of normal cardiac function, possibly by influencing mitochondrial iron export and regulating the maturation of cytosolic iron sulfur cluster-containing enzymes. [The UniProt Consortium] Buffer: PBS and 1M Urea, pH 7.4.
