KCNMB4 quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the KCNMB4 card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
MaxiK channels can be formed by 2 subunits: the pore-forming alpha subunit and the ______ beta subunit.
Answer
modulatory. MaxiK channels can be formed by 2 subunits: the pore-forming alpha subunit and the modulatory beta subunit. From the KCNMB4 article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Stanislav Kudzh. Stanislav Kudzh 58 · Leyner, Colorado 49 · KCNMB4 46 · SSH3 41 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- MaxiK channels are large conductance, voltage and calcium-sensitive potassium channels which are fundamental to the control of smooth muscle tone and neuronal excitability.
- MaxiK channels can be formed by 2 subunits: the pore-forming alpha subunit and the modulatory beta subunit.
- The protein encoded by this gene is an auxiliary beta subunit which slows activation kinetics, leads to steeper calcium sensitivity, and shifts the voltage range of current activation to more negative potentials than does the beta 1 subunit.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The KCNMB4 article was read about 370 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 46 and blocks with 42: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
How to get KCNMB4
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
