Gene information for KCNH8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID131096
Official gene symbolKCNH8
Full namepotassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 8
Aliases,ELK,ELK1,Kv12.1,elk3,
Gene summaryVoltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily H. This member is a pore-forming (alpha) subunit. [provided by RefSeq]
