ABCB8 localizations
ABCB8 [ENSP00000297504]
Mitochondrial potassium channel ATP-binding subunit; ATP-binding subunit of the mitochondrial potassium channel located in the mitochondrial inner membrane . 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) . Plays a role in mitochondrial iron transport . Required for maintenance of normal cardiac function, possibly by influencing mitochondrial iron export and regulating the maturation of cytosolic iron sulfur cluster-containing enzymes (By similarity).
