slo - slowpoke

Enables calcium-activated potassium channel activity. Involved in several processes, including male courtship behavior, veined wing generated song production; negative regulation of neuromuscular synaptic transmission; and regulation of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction. Located in membrane; neuron projection; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in adult head; embryonic/larval midgut; embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction; and spermatozoon. Used to study alcohol use disorder; substance-related disorder; and withdrawal disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Orthologous to several human genes including KCNMA1 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M alpha 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
