Background
The membrane protein encoded by this gene is a hyperpolarization-activated cation channel that contributes to the native pacemaker currents in heart and neurons. The encoded protein can homodimerize or heterodimerize with other pore-forming subunits to form a potassium channel. This channel may act as a receptor for sour tastes.

Function
domain:The segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position.,function:Hyperpolarization-activated ion channel exhibiting weak selectivity for potassium over sodium ions. Contributes to the native pacemaker currents in heart (If) and in neurons (Ih). Activated by cAMP, and at 10-100 times higher concentrations, also by cGMP. May mediate responses to sour stimuli.,sequence caution:Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence.,similarity:Belongs to the potassium channel HCN family.,similarity:Contains 1 cyclic nucleotide-binding domain.,subunit:The potassium channel is probably composed of a homo- or heterotetrameric complex of pore-forming subunits. Heteromultimer with HCN2 (By similarity). Interacts with KCNE2.,tissue specificity:Detected in brain, in particular in amygdala and hippocampus, while expr
